Throwing Drill

A great way to improve your throwing is to go to a wall. Any wall you can find and throw the ball off the wall over and over again until your too tired to throw anymore. You want to do this with your dominant and non-dominant hand to perfect the form with both of your hands A good way for your throwing accuracy to improve is to just pick a spot on the wall and try to hit the spot over and over again. Throwing off the wall also improves your hand eye coordination and catching skills.

Time & Room Shooting Drill

To perfect your time & room shooting you and a partner should have about 50 balls in 2 piles of 25 each. You and your partner should stand at about the 10 yard line on the hashes facing eachother. You pass the ball to your partner he catches the pass and shoots lefty. Then You receive the pass from your partner and shoot righty. This is a good way to work on your time and room shooting with both your dominant and non-dominant hand.

Shooting on the Run Drill

A great way to improve your shooting on the run is to bring out about 50 balls to a field and to dodge and shoot from different spots on the field. The form perfects it self after many repeteitions. Must importantly when you are recovering from the shot you have to make sure your back is facing the goal.

Shooting on the Run: Stance

 

 Stance begins with feet adducted together, and arms extended with stick in the hands.

Shooting on the Run: Prep

 

Prep begins with both arms horizontally abducted across the body and a linear step across the sagittal plane.

Shooting on the Run: Movement

 

 Movement begins with a hyperextended force  at the back shoulder holding the stick behind your head. While the weight is shifted to your front leg, your torso is rotated around the axis of rotation to load up the shot.

Shooting on the Run: Follow Through

 

Follow through ends with the right arm fully extended, and the left arm flexed.

Shooting on the Run: Recovery

 

Recovery ends with a propped stand up and right arm more laterally abducted than holding the stick for prep shooting on the run.

Time & Room Shooting: Stance

 

Time and room shooting stance begins with arms horizontally abducted across the frontal plane, wrists have a slight radial deviation to hold the stick back. Specific weight is in the back leg while the front leg is slightly bent.

Time & Room Shooting: Prep

 

Time and room shooting prep begins with putting stress on the instep of the back leg to load up,and holding the stick back behind the head by horizontally abducting the arms across the body and flexing the left arm.

Time & Room Shooting: Movement

 

Time and room shooting movement begins with an angular motion of the back leg and applying ulnar deviation on the right wrist to control the direction of the shot. The stick will be pulled across the body anteriorly.

Definitions

Adducted:
Extended:
Horizontally Abducted:
Linear: Along a line that may be straghit or curved, with all parts of the body moving in the same direction at the same speed.
Sagittal Plane: Plane in which forwar and backward movements of the body and body segments occur
Hyperextended: Rotation beyond anatomical position in the direction opposite of flexion
Force: push or pull; the product of mass and acceleration
Weight: Attractive force that the earth exerts on the body
Rotated:
Axis of Rotation: Imaginary line perpendicular to the plane of rotation and passing through the center of rotation.
Flexed:
Laterally Abducted:
Depressed:
Hyperflexed:
Frontal Plane: where Lateral movements of the body and body segments occur
Radial Deviation:
Specific Weight: Weight per unit of volume
Bent: Asymmetric loading that produces tension on one side of the body's longitudal axis and compression on the other side.
Stress: Distribution of force within a body, quantified as force divided by the area over which the force acts.
Angular: involivng rotation around a central line or point.
Ulnar Deviation:
Anteriorly: Toward the front of the body
