Demonstration of a Lap Catch.

How To Perform A Lap Catch

1. Start with a controlled toe or clipper stall and set the footbag upward with enough height to position yourself underneath it.
2. Bring your knees together and lower your body into a seated, chair-like squat.
3. As the footbag begins to fall, position your lap directly underneath it.
4. Keep your knees together and stay steady as the footbag settles into your lap.
5. Cushion the footbag with your legs and hold it securely in a controlled lap catch.

Tips For Learning

Set High

Set the footbag high enough to give yourself time to get underneath it and form a stable catching position.

Make A Chair

Bring your knees together and squat into a chair-like position with your lap ready to receive the falling footbag.

Soften The Catch

Stay relaxed as the footbag lands in your lap and use your legs to cushion the catch and keep it under control.
