Move underneath the ball

It is important to set yourself in the proper position underneath the ball. Get in a position directly underneath the ball, with the ball headed directly towards your forehead. Place your dominant foot slightly in front of the other and square your shoulders in the direction you would like the ball to go. Keep your knees bent slightly.
