Question

How can I keep a football from bouncing out of my hand when trying to catch it with one hand?

It requires a lot of practice, but if you want to make yourself more likely to secure the football on a one-handed catch, you should try to sort of bend your fingers forward slightly so that the ball doesn't keep going after it hits your hand. Then, make the palm of your hand more cupped so that the end of the ball has a place to nestle into. After that, work on pulling the ball into your body as soon as possible. Be aware that this is very hard, since it's a one-handed catch after all, but with practice it can be done.
