Ball Toss Drill Progressions

Set Up

The goalie stands without a stick, holding only the top hand in a ready position while the anchor hand stays behind the back. The coach tosses balls left and right, and the goalie must step, square up, and catch one-handed. Progress the tosses from high, to mid/hip level, down to low shots. The focus is sharp footwork, clean body position, and soft one-handed catches.
