Shooting Progression Workout
This workout is designed to help players develop proper shooting mechanics as well as shot power. this workout is also designed for a player to do on his own or with friends. If you do not have access to a goal use tennis balls (old ones are better) in your backyard against a wall, house, garage door, etc...
Key things to focus on:
- Everything is overhand
- No more than one partial cradle. No multiple cradles.
- Hands are at the bottom of the stick with space equal to about one rulers length between right and left gloves (12 inches).
- Do not bounce the ball. Shoot high to low and aim for net.
- Keep your hands soft. No "death grip" on the stick.
- Focus on rotating shoulder and torso
- Keep hands high and away from your body.
