Slapping (Sweeping)

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

DESCRIPTION

- either hands together or apart (normally together)

- situations - shooting on goal from a short distance away or to add diguise to a pass

- shouldn't require the ball being stopped & controlled once received, just pass

- practice 10-25m apart

COACHING POINTS

- eyes on the ball, focus on the ball as it approaches

- grip the stick with both hands together at top of stick

- low body position & hands - stick taken horizontally along the ground, large circular action/arc

- correct footwork enables player to maintain low body positon without losing balance, too upright - lack of power as smaller arc of stick movement/less contact area

- feet - sideways, step to meet ball, knees bent

- ball - start from just in front of/level with players left foot about a hockey stick length away

- contact - on shaft of stick, a few inches below the head of stick

- follow through - point stick in direction of ball
