Morrant Group Ltd have been specialising in team sports equipment for thirty six years and continually strive to bring new products and innovations to the market. The new Catchits from Linebreak are another product which have been added to both their rugby equipment and netball equipment ranges.

Designed to improve catching technique Catchits are extremely useful for players of all ages playing large ball sports such as rugby, netball and basketball etc.

Poor technique is the main cause of dropped balls during play. Coaching theory for sports like these promote the practice of using fingertips rather than palms to secure control of the ball. This is because fingers allow the player to feel the ball and exert the appropriate pressure needed to catch it, whereas the ball can bounce off the palm before a proper catch is made.

Catchits are designed to be worn at training and they promote fingertip ball control by preventing palm contact with the ball from occurring. Using Catchits as part of team training rugby equipment during warm up drills for passing, catching and marking will force players to concentrate on better fingertip contact to prevent them from mishandling the rugby ball. Continued use builds neurological pathways and the technique becomes second nature and transfers to game situations. The same principle applies to netball and other large ball sports too.

Catchits as part of training rugby and netball equipment can be used to be educational for junior players establishing correct technique early on and remedial for senior players, helping to eradicate bad catching habits.

Catchits are available in two sizes (Measure across the knuckles, excluding the thumb):
SMALL: Up to 8cm
LARGE: from 8cm - 11cm

A valuable addition to any team or individuals’ training program this simple piece of netball equipment or rugby equipment could make the difference between winning and losing matches.

You can purchase a set of Catchits from Morrant Group Ltd online from their rugby equipment range or their netball equipment range or in-store.
