Summary
This exercise is improves your hand speed, hand-eye coordination and catching. You can use many things as an obstacle, for example you can tape a floorball stick or broom to a table or our personal favourite: removing the net from a goal and do it there. If it gets too easy, you can vary the distance of your arm to the obstacle or do it with two balls (and two hands) at the same time.
