Set Up
Players will have balls about 8-10 yards away from the goal. We want to start by getting loaded in a comfortable position, and have our Butt End of our stick, face our target. Each individual will have a different ‘form’ when shooting depending on their body size, arm length, etc.. but it’s important we stick to the principles of our shot. They will take 3 steps, and drive through the shot transferring their weight from back to front, and releasing that top hand. Get 40-50 Reps in a few minutes for a pre practice warm up
Coaching Points and Principles
- Get your hands extended and comfortable, aiming your butt end to the goal
- Transfer weight from back to front, like a baseball pitcher or a football QB then they throw
- Release your to hand, think about driving your knuckles into the ground, or rolling your hand top hand over, whatever feel better. This gives the ball the snap out of your stick
Progressions
- Add in a guided defender and work on some escapes like a jab step, roll dodge, or facedodge
