Things to Note:
-WEAR YOUR HELMET & GLOVES! Training with gloves on is vital, we want to practice how we play, don’t take any shortcuts!
-Make sure you have proper form as shown in the demo video
-Make sure your feet are in the proper position, shoulders closed off, and stepping towards your target.
-Try to aim for the same spot on the wall/bounce back every rep. Train your pass accuracy as well as your ability to receive the pass. The ball should arrive on the same line it was thrown on.
-Try to get the ball in and out of your stick as fast as possible. Erase any hitches, stick twirls, or extra cradles. This is a timed challenge, every second counts!
-Have soft hands! The ball should fall nicely into your pocket, don’t snap at the ball when catching it.

Once completed, we will send an email and coordinate a time to give you the new decal set at a practice.
This challenge is open for the entire year, and can be completed whenever!
Best of luck to all and remember - don’t get discouraged and give up, failure just means you are one step closer to success!
