Stick Handling Drills & Games
Soft Touch
The Soft Touch drill is the basic foundation drill that all future stickhandling drills are built on. You should perfect this skill before moving on to more complex drills. The key to this drill is soft hands and quick touches. You should focus on using just hands and wrists with very little arm movement. You should also cup the blade over the ball on both the forehand and backhand side when practicing this move.
You are awarded a point every time the ball is moved across the green line between the two red lines. You should use quick hands and soft touches to move ball back and forth across the green line. Should the ball cross either one of the red lines a point is deducted. You accumulate points by crossing the green line as many times as possible while avoiding the red lines.
