Holding the stick

Top end of the stick is held from side around the shaft when
the palm covers the whole shaft. Stick is never held from the
top. Stick handling (especially one hand stick handling) will be
easier if the top hand don’t hold the stick really tight and
there is a bit of space in a palm.
Exact position of the bottom hand as well as the distance
between both hands, tightness of the hand grip are matters
of personal preference and stick skills the player is trying to
perform. Generally firmer hand grip with wider position of
the hands is connected with a slap shot. Closer hand position
is then related to the dribbling and spinning because it better
utilizes wrist movement of bottom hand. It is strongly
recommended to hold a stick with both hands and have a
blade on the ground during most playing situations.

6.3.- PASSING, SHOOTING AND RECEIVING

 Passing is one of the most important skills at every collective ball game. You need to know two things to manage
good passes: - Receiving the ball without missing the ball. - Passing the ball exactly towards your team-mate's
blade. The ball should passed in an easy way - it should not jump and it should be fast enough (not too fast, but
also not too slow).
 Whether running with the ball or not, a field player should always be prepared to pass the ball. A ball can be
passed with both the forehand and backhand, and the more readily a player can hit a pass, the more
advantageous for the game.

6.3.3.- Dragged pass or shot

 Apart from learning how to pass a ball correctly, it is also equally important to know how to receive a ball. For
low passes, the blade should be on the floor. The stick is placed slightly in front of the body. The player’s head
should be up, so he is aware of what is happening in the game. The ball is received softly in the middle of the
blade to avoid an immediate bounce, and the blade should move backwards with the ball to slow it down. Turn
the blade slightly, so that the ball is touched more on the top – reducing the bounce further.
