10. Goalkeeping You want to start in an athletic stance. Feet shoulder width apart, weight even on both balls of the feet and forearms parallel to the ground Grab the stick with your palms facing out Your head should be up watching the ball When the ball reaches your stick you want to “give” with the stick so the ball will stop in front of you Quit Next slide Previous Slide Menu

11. Tackling Basic athletic stance Have the stick low to the ground Make sure your feet are always moving and try to get the person with the ball to go toward your stick side (this will make it easier to tackle) When you are ready to tackle, extend the stick with your left hand to jab under the ball Fake jabs also may be successful Previous Slide Next Slide Quit Menu
