You should work on his recieving skills at every practice. Why wait until the season progresses?

One of the best drills is for him to get in his primary recieving stance without a glove (and in full gear). Have someone kneel about 8-10' away and softly toss balls at him in a moderate rapid fire. Start off with them right at his chest and then move the ball around the zone. We teach our kids to gently sway to the ball.

By doing it barehanded, he will be catching the ball in his web rather than the fingers.
