A GOALTENDING DRILL
Before these drills below, you will need to stretch and do jumping jacks,
and jump rope for 100 times. Both of these exercises are done with leg pads,
glove blocker stick & helmet. The jump rope exercise is done glove, blocker
& stick. All of these exercises are to be done 5 out of 7 days of the week,
giving you 2 days rest for muscles to build.
Here are several off ice trainings that will make you faster & quicker, all
of these drills will require leg pads, glove, blocker, stick & helmet:
1)Face a wall, stand about 10 feet away from it and throw a small rubber
ball against. You can stop it with any of your equipment but you must do
this standing up only. You can also have someone throw the ball at the wall
for you, but always start in your stance when having someone else throwing
the ball. As you get comfortable with this you will want to throw the ball
harder & stand closer to the wall. Don't go any closer then 5 feet from the
wall. This will increase your quickness with all of your equipment.
2)Face a wall, stand about 10 feet away from it and kick a "soccer" size
ball to the wall. You will be required to keep the ball moving to the wall
and back by only using your legs. Every time you miss, you must start over
again. You will want to kick to the wall 100 times without a miss, then you
can move closer. Don't go any closer than 5 feet. This drill can be done
without a stick. This will help your ability to direct the puck off the
pads.
3)Face a wall, stand about 20 feet away from it, have someone throw a small
rubber ball high against the wall, while the ball is in the air & bouncing
towards you, Don't Raise Your Stick, follow the ball with eyes, you are
allowed to move your head. Move your stance to be centered with the ball and
don't let the ball get past you.
