Get Rid of Fear. As we all know, the season ball is probably one of the hardest balls in sports. In slip fielding, the ball comes very fast to you, it may even reach speeds of over 100 m.p.h. It's quite easy to eliminate your fear of the season ball. As you gradually continue to play cricket, your fear of the ball will go down less and less. This really is not a big issue to worry about.
Strengthen Legs. Slip fielders will always be crouching down and they have very strong knees. Slip fielders need to spring whenever the ball is up in the air. They rely on their knees a lot.
Focus on Reflexes and Hand-Eye Coordination. Improving hand-eye coordination and reflexes is the most important of aspect of being a slip fielder. With the ball coming at you at great speeds, you literally have a split second before the ball comes to you. Training for this can be done with much practice
Keep Practicing. Even when you do reach the goal of becoming of a skilled slip fielder, you must continue practicing to make sure your skills are always sharp.
When practicing have someone throw the ball at you hard to allow you to get used to the speed .
Practice diving catches.
Give with the ball. This means when you catch the ball, bring your hands into your waist or next to your hips, this cushions the ball which helps especially when the ball is coming fast and could bounce out.
