How do you catch a football?

Answer by  rtraf (21)

The key to catching a football thrown to you is to see the ball when thrown and to run under it. Then you need to hold out your arms and shape them like you would carry a stack of wood. When the football hits your arms, you want to pull your arms with the ball into your chest.

The proper way to catch a football is with your hands extended and receiving it. Some people find it easier to cradle it in toward their body, and although it may be easier, it isn't the proper way to catch it.
