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.

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

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 |

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.  |

Sorry, I haven't bothered trying it yet. I think I'm going to recommend it to my coach for when we have practices.

I have a simple but effective catching drill:
You choose a section of the wall that is fairly big, you stand in front of the wall, and someone else stands behind you. The person at the back throws the ball anywhere on the wall and the person in front (having not looked where the other person is going to throw it) has to catch it after it has deflected off the wall. If you are more confident reduce the gap between you and the wall. This is ideal for playing the back garden. |

in Dubai for my uni we practice but not in great depth like you guys....I guess since were quite talented that could be the reason...but I would always like to go through drills the same way you guys do...It just makes you more confident when you go into a real tough game..having practiced and all that!

Our coach does that too, except we play indoors. He sometimes drives the ball really hard on the ground towards us or somewhere in our direction. He sometimes gives a fast catch that is coming at us or in our direction. And sometimes he gives a surprise slow catch and you have to be ready for it, so you can run, dive, and catch it.

I did the same thing 2 weeks ago at my aunts house and she didn't say anything to me, since I was a guest.
But I managed to temporarily fix the picture frame and hang it back up. |

Ofcourse, Using a soft ball is also much more safer for the things around you if you are doing catching drills in your living room or bedroom like me.

Just remember to do it with a soft ball, not a cricket ball becuase if you misjudge the bounce or something then.......

Another variation - throw the ball at the wall with your eyes shut and open them when it hits the wall to test your refelexes. |
