Explain goal tending

Explain use of mask and grip of stick

• We will use goggles when you are a goalie and will use foam balls to shoot instead of pucks
  • Grip stick with one hand (pencil hand) at the middle of the shaft
  • Hold stick so blade goes between your feet
  • Back of your hand faces the shooter
  • End of stick points to the right (if you hold the stick with your right hand)
  • Bend knees, keep back upright
  • Hold left hand out to be ready to catch a shot

All with a partner (with own stick and a small nerf ball to share)

• One partner (goalie), makes a goal (between two marks on the wall…)
• Other partner gets 5 shots to try to score as many as possible
• Switch every 5 shots
• Teacher goes around checking for correct technique

Application:

• Shoot out
  • Set up 6 nets around the gym
  • 1 at each end wall and 2 along each side wall
  • Anyone that chooses to can be a goalie in one on the nets
    • Put their regular stick on top of the net and use the goalie stick and wear the goggles
  • Everyone else must stay inside the white box painted on the floor
    • This area confines shooters and does not allow them to get too close to the goalies while shooting
  • They try to shoot small nerf balls at the goals
  • Goalie tries to stop as many as they can
  • STRESS KEEPING BLADES ON THE FLOOR WHEN SHOOTING!
