Mastering Fielding Techniques

Fielding can change games. Fast reflexes, anticipation, and correct technique are essential. Ground fielding involves clean pick-ups, quick releases, and under-arm throws. Catching, whether in the slips or outfield, requires soft hands, timing, and secure positioning under the ball. Close-in fielders must stay low and alert. Diving and sliding are useful for saving boundaries. Practicing in game-like scenarios improves reaction time and builds confidence in high-pressure moments.
