TLI U9 Novice Week 2

This Practice Plan introduces “wristers”, which puts the stick in a threat position and teaches the players to throw with their wrists. Again, attentions should really be paid to the players form.  We also add in the skill of catching.  This is not a basic fundamental and is a tough thing to master.  Have a lot of balls available behind the players so they do not chase the ball.  There WILL be balls all over the place.  We then add a stationary shooting drill to progress out of just throwing.
