Which receptive manipulative skill involves receiving an object?

Catching is a receptive manipulative skill that specifically involves receiving an object, which can be a ball or any other thrown item. This skill requires the individual to react swiftly, demonstrate hand-eye coordination, and often to track the moving object with their eyes to position themselves appropriately for the catch.

In contrast, throwing involves projecting an object away from oneself, while kicking focuses on using the foot to strike an object, typically a ball, to propel it away. Striking usually refers to hitting an object, such as a ball, with a bat or racket, which again is different from the act of receiving an object. Each of these skills has its own mechanics and objectives; however, catching distinctly centers around the action of receiving and controlling an object.
