Hockey: Power Push

Excellent drills, very detailed videos. Useful site for my U15 boys...

Parry, U15 boys Hockey Coach

DESCRIPTION

Place the stick behind the ball and push. There should be NO NOISE on contact.

Start with the ball in line with the right foot as this allows for maximum weight transfer.

Endeavour to keep eyes up throughout stroke and stick. In contact, feel the ball. This may be difficult initially but will pay dividends with your potential high achievers as it will let them see a defenders late movement and allow them to make adjustments.

Tip: Place the right foot on a line. Start the ball on the same line.
