The Push, Video Techniques Hockey

Description

Coaching Points

• Body position low
• Head and eyes steady until completion of pass
• Balanced transfer of weight from right to left foot as the pass is made
• Hands well apart on stick, shaft of stick low to ground for strength
• Stick on ground and in contact with the ball until the pass is made
• Ball should be able to be passed from any position
• Less experienced players commonly push with the left shoulder forward in the direction of the pass with the ball midway between the feet ? but passing in all directions is to be encouraged sideways on - not chest on.
