Goaltending Drill #7A: Marty’s Rebound Off The Boards
INTERMEDIATE
- Begin with a line of left-handed and a line of right-handed players on their proper floor sides, at the shooter positions, in one or both ends of the floor.
- Variation #1 (10 min): "Short-Side Rebound." The goalie starts facing the player at the shooter position, who will be sending in a pass off of the end-boards (Variation #1A - 5 min) or side-boards (Variation #1B - 5 min), attempting to corral the rebound in front of the goalie (timing) for a quick finish in front.
- The drill alternates from side-to-side in orientation, with the next player not taking their turn until the player in front of them is out of the way.
- Another option to make the rebound more reactive in nature is for the player behind the player at the front of the line to throw the ball off the boards and the player at the front of line to react to the rebound when they see it.
- Variation #2 (10 min): "2 Rebounds." Same as the variations above except after attempting to play the rebound off of the boards, the player receives a second pass from the coach (or player) at the opposite crease position (or from behind the net).
- Players can also become passers after they shoot, before re-joining their original line (depending on the calibre of players).
- Variation #3 (10 min): "Game To 7." To add competition, play a game of lefty's versus righty's up to 7 goals, losing does push-ups, sit-ups, body weight squats, sprints, etc.
