I found that when kids come from t-ball their catching skills are not exactly refined. Two things put together really helped the kids. First for catching getting the glove into the proper position to catch it you must think of a clock. 12 o'clock is the face (thumb up), 3 o'clock to the left hardest for left handed kids, 6 0'clock(thumb down) and the hardest for the right handed kids. Do this a couple of practices so that they get the idea then ADD CANDY.
You will be amazed what the kids can do to get a piece of candy, but only if they catch it! After they get a hang of it use a tennis racket and ball the results are amazing. Finally after all that you can start with catching a pop up with the glove just over the head by hitting candy in the air with a tennis racket. Put a t-shirt over it so the candy don't go through the holes. Hope these hints help make the little guys a little better!
