[Dragon Ball Z] Can you somehow trap the Dragon Balls before they scatter again?

Just throw a net at them or something, a titanium net if need be, just with how much force do these things explode in all directions?

Yes.

Even kid Goku was able to catch them as they flew away, although he was only interested in the 4 star one which he saw as an inheritance from his adoptive grandfather, he implied he could have caught all the Dragon Balls as they flew away.

You would still need to wait a year for them to turn back in to crystal to be able to summon the dragon again.
