Here are the Key Teaching Points for the Overhead Catch
-Move towards the ball in the Ready Position
-Release the non-dominant hand from the hurley and extend it above the head
-Raise the hurley above the head to protect the catching hand. The open cupped hand faces the oncoming ball
-Move towards the ball to receive it at the highest point, jumping if necessary
-Relax the hand on impact, catching the ball with the fingers
The hurley is held behind the catching hand when the opponent is to the rear, and in front of the catching hand when the opponent is to the front
