Hockey: Skills - Deflections

Excellent, used the drills at our first training session today with...
Shane, Hockey Coach

DESCRIPTION

Work on the ability to score using deflections. The player movement should get the player in the correct body position to make the deflection.

COACHING POINTS

  • The hardest way to make a deflection is running across the line of the ball.
  • If the player can make a movement down the line of the ball, towards the ball, then the deflection is significantly easier to make.

  • All deflections should be made with a low forehand stick.
