Exercise for beginners. Player in red is continuously under pressure and learns to develop quick reflexes (two-touch!) while also learning to look over the ball(s) during the exercise.
Players in blue learn to time their passes for 'red' to be able to receive (and to keep the exercise going).
Red and blue's:good hockey stance, wide grips, looking over ball, two-touch, correct push, footwork (stepping in & out)
Red: receiving and pushing in forehand only!
Blue's: be prepared to quickly move left and right for some non-focused passes from 'red', and receiving in both forehand and backhand.
Coach to keep the exercise going and change all positions every 3 minutes.
