A sneak peek into my private lesson with my niece, goddaughter & spirit animal, Clare Watters. 🥍💗
Grade 4
Darien, Sacred Heart, Go Grizzles
Last winter, we worked on four things:
✦ Proper passing mechanics
✦ Wall ball techniques
✦ Protecting her stick on the run
✦ Using her legs for power
This week, I’ll share how she’s doing now. So far, so good! 👀
10 BEGINNER TIPS TO STEAL ↓
① GET SET. Athletic stance, shoulders square to your target, stick face flat. Give your pass a rainbow arc.
② FIND THE RHYTHM. Cradle, step, pass. Connect the movements.
③ BE NICE TO THE WALL. You’re catching what you throw! Give yourself a pass you’d want to receive.
④ PICK YOUR SPOT. Aim for a target. Watch the rebound and move your feet to meet it.
⑤ ACCURACY FIRST. Don’t rush. Count consecutive completed passes. Add a little zip—accurate zip.
⑥ BEND TO RECEIVE. Soften your knees as the ball enters your pocket. Stay ready.
⑦ USE YOUR LEGS. Your arms aren’t doing this alone. Get your feet and legs involved.
⑧ SHIFT YOUR WEIGHT. Step into your pass and let your body help generate power.
⑨ DODGE WITH YOUR FEET. Sell one direction, change direction, then accelerate. Keep your body between your stick and the defender.
⑩ PUT ON A GOOD SONG. Practice moving your arms and legs to the beat. Trust me—it helps.
This is what we’ll work on all winter at GLOW: real instruction, specific corrections, and the repetitions that help those little adjustments stick.
The basics aren’t boring. They’re where everything starts.
Skills are the priority. Confidence is the outcome.
