- Move into the path of the object to intercept it
- Maintain eye contact with the object
- Assume a ready position with a strong base of support
- Present a large surface of the implement to trap or block the object
- As the object strikes the implement, cushion the object to absorb the impact
- Control the object by slightly moving the implement in the same direction as the object’s motion

Self Check Questions
- Do I follow the path of the object and move my body to intercept it?
- Am I able to control the object by cushioning it with my implement?
