Working hands with 3 variations:
1) feet still, square to partner
2) feeling moving
3) feet moving + balls thrown at waist level or below so glove will be flipped

We are using @vallesports_ K47 trainer that is 7.5in to really hone in on pocket awareness & to make sure we are catching directly in pocket so ball deflects to throwing hand.

Congrats girls 💪

@ElinShaw2028 came across one of the greatest to ever play the position while out shopping, @MontanaFouts. Montana was nice enough to chat for a minute and take a pic.
