A drill to work on diving catches is the following: if you have a padded surface like maybe a pull out bed or one of those pads that high jumpers use at your field you are in great shape for this drill. I wouldn’t reccomend doing this on grass because it is a great way to hurt yourself on a hard surface. The only way to work on diving catches in my opinion is by doing the motion. So have someone throw you a ball as you are running and force you to dive but you land on a soft surface. This gets you used to the fall and being prepared when you have to dive in a game. I think doing this on the high jumper pad is best because you can really stretch out and get vertical.
