Defensive Base & Stick Length: Mastering Positioning and Disruption
In this session, goalies learn that solid defense begins with proper hip and foot positioning. By playing defense with the feet and not relying solely on the stick, goalies can better prevent players from scoring. The stick is used to disrupt offensive plays, but good body positioning remains the key. Goalies are also taught to use the correct stick length, ensuring better control and the ability to react more effectively to attackers.
