fullback/catching
Question
i want to be a full back, but i can't catch hardly at all. the only catches i do catch, are near impossible catches lol. i can catch if it bounces off my chest, but i want to catch with my hands.
also, i need help understanding the wishbone, i think.
a three back set with two tightends. there is one back in slightly in front of the other two. the backset kind of looks like a triangle.
we might go in to flex, trips, left, tight, or right. a little bit of shotgun
i know what to do in a two back set, but i get confused in a three back set. our main plays are power, lead, sweep, trap, and dive. and some plays you probably won't know call boise and idaho
i am really just worried about catching right now. any ideas for receivergloves? or something for backs and linemen? thanks

Answer
Bobby it is important to catch the ball as a fullback. Fullback make a lot of short receptions in most offenses. You need to consentrate on looking the ball into your hands. Your hands should be open wide forming a pocket or a dimond shape. Then receive the ball softly into how hands. Your hands should give a little on contact with the ball. Last but not least you need to catch at least 100 balls a day until you start to see noticable improvement. You should be catching 85% of the balls thrown. GOOD LUCK COACH NOEL!!
