Drop Puck

1. Your opponent is in front of you and you cannot get in a shot.
   

2. Take a quick step back and as you do, drop the ball to the ground in front of your feet.
   

3. As the ball hops, strike it -normally low.
   

4. It is a very difficult stroke for your opponent to block.

Note:

• This is also a good stroke against a strong wind.

• A low & hard drop puck close to goal is very difficult to stop.

Practice Skill:

With a partner practice drop pucking to each other across the field, alternating between high & low pucks.
