Is a palm guard glove, or anything similiar worth the money for a young catcher?
They need to catch the ball in the pocket of the catcher's mitt. Throw tennis balls to them and without a mitt to work on catching the ball with their thumb down. It works!!!
Also relaxing the "catching hand" when the pitcher begins her motion helps. Have the catcher let the glove go down (wave down) and then up when the pitcher releases.
