Best Answer

In soccer, it means to legally catch the ball with your body.

In Field Hockey, trapping is catching the ball by pinning it between the stick and the ground, after which the player can move with the ball.

In US football, it means that a forward pass is ruled incomplete because the player did not cleanly catch the pass, but caught it between his body and the ground.
