At the point of delivery, I want to see players in what I tend to call the "goalkeeper position" - widish base, bent knees, weight heavily forward but not committed onto either foot. Important to have a still, level head to judge your response properly, but the danger with talking about being "still" is that children get into positions from which they can't quickly push off or get down.
