Watch the ball, soft hands, steady position. Practice.

Here's another drill. Get two cricket balls and 5 or 6 of you (if you're feeling brave it might work with 4). Stand in a circle (about 3 or 4 metres wide) and basically get two balls moving - throwing and catching to one another, trying to keep the balls apart. Good for reflexes, hand-eye co-ordination and quick thinking.

We were doing it in Cheltenham the other day with a tennis ball and a rugby ball for added intensity.

i always go down the nets but if i cant i play in the garden and my bro throws a ball down hard and i catch it on the bounce or if it dosent bounce i practise my long barriers.my most effective way of training to catch is a slip catcher its basiclly a cradle and you throw it and it bounces in very very! un predictable posisitons its simply the best for improving your reactions and catching also sometimes it stays low so you really have to be on the ball as they say

Slip cradles are amaing. I really wish other people at my club liked them because as a keeper I find it very beneficial.

We've got one at our club, they're bloody good bits of tools!

If you have an old fashioned hand roller at your club you can make a slip cordon with a few of ur team and have someone throwing a ball at the roller and it'll come off at different angles.
