If you have the Catch skill though you could choose to NOT reroll it.
Yes, you have to attempt to catch. But you don't have to reroll the roll if you have the catch skill. And in the case where the catch is successful, and the player has the catch skill, one could chose to reroll the catch roll and hope to fail the second time.  |

Unfortunately, this is not true:

You cannot reroll a successful catch with Catch.
You can reroll it with a team re-roll though. |

Well, I don't think you can use a team reroll for that, as this die roll doesn't ocurre during your team turn but during the kick-off phase. |

you must make the attempt to catch the ball
you have the choice to use a skill or not
you may not use a team re-roll as your turn has not started |

OK, so I would have to attempt to catch the ball. If the player had Dodge I could choose to use it, but as the skill only allows to re-roll failed rolls, it would not be useful to force the touchback. Team re-rolls would also be useless, as my turn has not yet begun.
Tricky for beginners like me  |

I stand corrected. |
