Tennis racket meets floorball goalie

Let us train on saving bouny balls. We guess everybody already had the situation during a game that the ball bounces through the slot and the striker swings his stick and hits the ball perfectly that it bounces or flies straight towards your goal. This ballistic curve of the ball is unfamiliar for a floorball goalie and requires a good reflexes and reaction speed. With this exercise, we want to train these kind of shots and manage it with a tennis racket.

How to do it?

• Starting point
• Goalie
• You are at centre of the goal at the goal line in the initial position
• Field player with tennis racket
• Field players stays with a full box of floorballs in front of the slot
• Exercise
• Field player grabs one ball from the box and hit it with the tennis racket towards the goal – he can vary between direct shots and a bouncing shot
• The aim of the goalie is to save the ball
• Increase the degree of difficult
• Get closer to the goal
• Vary the position of the field player
• Include a preceding movement of the goalie from a post to the centre to bring the goalie in a moved position
• Increase the frequency
• Place obstacles in the ballistic curve which could change the course of the ball
