Hockey: Watch Position - Using a toilet tube

I love using Sportplan. It's been a great help for co-ordinating hockey...
Laura, Hockey Coach

DESCRIPTION

The left hand should be at the top of the stick, with the wrist in such a position that if you are wearing a watch you would be able to see the time. The right hand should be half way down the shaft and gripped lightly to allow the stick to rotate.

A common fault is to grip the stick to tightly with the right hand. One way to correct this is to place a toilet roll tube over the stick and get the pupil to grip the tube lightly. This will allow the stick to rotate freely.

COACHING POINTS

  • Ensure that pupils can see a watch on their left hand.
  • Grip the stick lightly with the right hand.
