Our biology is designed to anticipate gravity. Regardless of athletic training the average person is capable of adeptly throwing and catching a ball.
I work in construction and I regularly throw and catch objects like rolls of tape - duct tape sized rolls - 18V drills, levels, etc. but it's only when we throw something light (IE that air-resistance has an effect) and then you start getting screwed up. We don't expect things to slow down dramatically when it's thrown or falls.
