Catching the ball is an essential technical element in handball. Accurate catching is very important and ensures a fast, smooth and efficient game. Catching the ball with two hands is the best method. In some situations one can use one hand with the help of the other hand before passing or shooting. So-called “putting down” a ball is rarely used.
The “softness” of catching the ball is another feature of catching. Fingers must be relaxed and properly placed on the ball providing shock absorption during impact. An additional element, which is important while catching, is the speed of movement and the proper positioning of a player in regard to the path of a ball.
