Goaltending Drill #7B: Quick Reaction Rebounds
ADVANCED
- 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 (7 min): "1 Player, 2 Coach Passes." The goalie starts facing the coach (or player), who will be sending in the first pass to either the same-side or opposite side shooter (predetermined) whose turn it is. The goalie must re-position to challenge the shooter, who takes an outside shot.
- After the shot, the shooter continues toward the net as if attacking the rebound on the same-side, receiving a pass (or loose ball) from the other coach (or player), who is standing at the crease position or behind the net, feeding them on the door-step. Players can also become passers after they shoot, before re-joining their original line (depending on the calibre of players).
- 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.
- Variation #2 (7 min): "2 Players, 1 Coach Pass." Same as the variation above except players start with balls in one shooter line or the other (switching halfway through the drill). The players run toward the net and can make as many passes as they want, with one player eventually shooting.
- Whoever doesn't shoot, the coach (or player) on the same-side or opposite to them (predetermined) feeds them a pass for a shot on the door-step. Coaches should mix it up sometimes and throw a second pass to the original shooter, in order to keep the goalies honest.
- Variation #3 (10 min): "Game To 7." To add competition, play a game of lefty's versus righty's up to 7 goals, losing team does push-ups, sit-ups, body weight squats, sprints, etc.
