    Explanation
    When catching the ball, it is important to watch the ball into your hands. This allows you to track the ball's trajectory and position yourself correctly to make the catch. By keeping your eyes on the ball, you can also ensure that you have a firm grip and prevent any mishaps. Therefore, the statement that it is important to never watch the ball into your hands is incorrect.

    Correct Answer
    A. Hands should work together with index fingers and thumbs connecting.
    Explanation

    • Pinkies should be together with elbows in, and palms up.

    • Hands should work together with index fingers and thumbs connecting.

    • Never catch low passes.

    Correct Answer
    A. Pinkies should be together with elbows in, and palms up.
    Explanation
    When catching a low pass, it is important to keep the pinkies together with the elbows in and the palms up. This hand position ensures a secure grip on the ball and helps to prevent it from slipping out. By keeping the pinkies together, the hands create a larger surface area to catch the ball, increasing the chances of a successful catch. Additionally, having the elbows in and palms up allows for better control and stability when receiving the low pass.

    • Low and close to your body.

    • Low and back.

    • Out in front of your body.

    • Back and even with or above your shoulder.

    Correct Answer
    A. Back and even with or above your shoulder.
    Explanation
    When throwing, it is important to position your elbow back and even with or above your shoulder. This is because a higher elbow position allows for better control and accuracy in the throw. It also helps generate more power and speed in the throw by utilizing the larger muscles in the shoulder and upper back. Throwing with the elbow low and close to the body or low and back may restrict the range of motion and limit the power and accuracy of the throw.
