Over the course of this 6 week program sessions will cover both shooting and stick handling techniques. Each week players will spend 30 minutes shooting and 30 minutes stick handling.
Shooting sessions will focus on the development of all types of different shooting techniques such as weight transfer, body positioning, timing, quick release and accuracy. We will focus on these techniques while adding different ‘game situations’ while in the shooting room. For example, shooting in motion, quick release off of pass reception, quick release out of moves & fakes, one timers, etc.
Stick Handling is one of the most important and innovative areas of the game. As players become more comfortable with different stick handling techniques and skills it is important to maintain proper body and hand position so we are always able to make plays or shots in game situations. Over the course of the sessions we will progress through a number of different areas of puck control including:
- Push / pull moves
- Fake passes / fake shots
- Evasiveness with the puck
- Saucer passes
- And much more
