Hockey: Clip Hit: Static 1

Coaching points

Grip

• 'V' between thumb and index finger runs down the edge of the stick
• Right and left hand touching - This way they work together rather than in opposition

Stick

• Place stick behind the ball - This is important as it gives a reference point
• 'Pick the stick up' with the arms first and then the hands
• Clip the ball across to your partner

Ball

• In line with the left heel

Body

• Left shoulder at colleague
• Knees bent 90 degrees
• Butt of the stick level with the kneecaps

N.B. The head is in line with the ball but NOT over it

Balance

• Weight finishes on the left foot
• Toe of the stick to the sky
