Cone Mountains- Left-to-right Drag

Excellent, used the drills at our first training session today with...
Shane, Hockey Coach

DESCRIPTION

1.) Players have to move the ball from the left side of the cones to the right side of the cones stationary using the correct left to right drag technique (static). They should keep going left-to-right to help them practice the movement. As they get more confident the speed and size of the drag should increase. Ideally spend no longer then 3 minutes on static technique as it is not very game realistic and players may feel they are not then being challenged enough.

1.) Hand grip: Left-hand at the top in the v-grip learnt last session when dribbling, right-hand loose in the middle of the stick. Left hand in watch position (if the player was to wear a watch they could see the time)

Body position: Knees bend (if any players complain about having back ache its because they aren't bending their knees enough and arching their backs instead- its like sitting on the toilet). Head should be up as in a game situation they would need to be looking where the defender and their team mates are.
