Catching

Of the most fundamental skills in Ultimate, throwing definitely tops the list. But close behind is catching. Catching is absolutely vital to playing Ultimate.

In this issue of The Huddle we asked our roster of authors to talk about the general concepts behind what makes a good catch, as well as their personal development and play in the context of catching. What kinds of catches they routinely need to make from their position on the field, what they did to pick up the skill, and how continue to improve.
