Another must have book for catching instruction - The View From Behind the Mask by Todd Coburn and Roy Anderson.  This book has a good section towards the end of it on game management.  Lots of photos with correct and incorrect techniques explained.

 

I primarily use their information, Ian's and Joe Wilkins when I instruct our catchers and I wasn't even catcher when I played ball.

 

Other good websites:

http://www.catchingcamp.com/ - the DVD sold here is very good by the late Dave Weaver

I have several more, but these should be pretty helpful.
