Tips

[Pickle]

I have only played for one season and would like some tips, I would like to know them so I will benefit from it and so will all other new players, and I know there probably is other threads on it, so please do not comment on that.(keep on reading there are tips all the way down ther page)

Here are a few I already know:

1. When there is no one else to practice with throw the ball at a wall, it will help your stick skills

2. It is good to practice with a tennis ball: It is harder to catch because of the bounce so it will improve your catching, and it is harder to shoot fast with a tennis ball so it will improve your shot and pass speed, It is lighter and it will be easier to come out of your stick so it will improve your being able to keep the ball in

3. Always keep your stick near your face

4. When practicing shooting it is better to shoot on the run because that is what will mostly happen in a real game

5. It is a good thing to practice with pads on because it will help you more than no pads(You will be wearing pads in a game)

Pickle, for future reference, ask a mod to move your post to the correct forum rather than stating it all over again after just creating it in another. This way you can avoid the multiple posts yelling at you to post in the right forum, etc.

7. Practicing with a womens sticks will help your catching an cradiling skills

8. O/D Drill- You have three people lined up all looking forward the attack in the middle the Defense on the sides you throw the ball out in front and if the attack wins they throw it back the defense do the man/ball thing 1 person takes man the other takes ball and if they get it they pass twice and then throw it back to you

9. Watch the ball all the way into your stick

10. During a game like in the drill when there is a crowd of people around the ball, one of you take man the other take ball

12. A move you can use during the game is the swim move- Choke up on your stick, and pretend like your swimming- overhand stroke and go over the persons head with your stick and then bring it back down and go for the goal!
