Danger from the back of the goal
Many dangerous situations during a game initiated with a strong pass from the back of the goal to a positioned striker in the slot. The striker only moves his/her blade into the ballistic curve of the ball that the ball bounces against it towards the goal. For us as floorball goalie, these situations are very tricky as it is almost impossible to predict the new ballistic curve. Reflexes, reaction and a good position are the key to success. This exercise trains you to handle these kind of situations.

- Field player

- Goalie
- Pushes or pulls him/herself to the centre of the goal to be able to react and reach both sides of the goal
- If the goalie already scanned the ballistic curve of the pass, it is possible to increase the depth to increase the cover ratio of the body
- Final point
