This PE teaching resource demonstrates where to position your hands to catch a handball.  

## Teaching points

As the ball approaches, position your fingers in a "W" grip with thumbs together and your fingers spread. Your fingers should be evenly spaced. Once you have caught the ball, you can transfer it to one hand, ready to throw or bring it into your body to protect it from the opposition.
