Barrel Roll Catch
- Prescription
- 3 × 8 catches · 60 s restabout 6 min
- Players
- 2 minimum
- Equipment
- Football
Roll sideways on the ground, get up facing the passer, and catch a ball that is already in the air. You lose your visual reference and then quickly regain it, which is exactly what happens after a hit.
Key points
- Your eyes should be looking for the ball even before you've finished getting up.
- Raise your hands at the same time as you look up, not after.
- Three sets of eight, alternating the direction of the roll.
Common mistakes
- Getting all the way up before looking for the ball.
- A quarterback who waits for the receiver to be ready, which takes away the sense of urgency.
