Goalie Tip and Pull Shot Series"
…A.1
Set the ball up 1/2 way between the *far wall* and the first stripe.
…A.2. Use your shooting man to bounce the ball off the far wall,
back wall, and back rod's man, in order to set your shot up. Set the ball
directly between the wall and the Goal's first white line. Then position
the ball directly underneath the bar, then tilt the man back a little
position the ball back as well, placing the ball snug up against your
shooting man. Do not leave a space between the ball and the side of your
man's foot. If you do this will increase your odds in mis-executing the
shot as it increases the risk in slipping out of place off your man's foot
when you start the lateral pulling motion...Do not get impatient learning
to set the ball up. Take your time it will get easier and soon you will
start getting it set up quickly.
…A.3. Start your shot from this same position every single time
during first year..
…A.4. Primary Job responsibility... Is to never ever turn over
(fumble the ball) the ball to the opponent's forward, while in your
position
…A.5. Second priority Job responsibility: is to clear the ball
past the Opponent's Three Bar
…A.6. Third priority job responsibility: is to clear the ball
past the opponent's 5 Bar.
…A.7 It is not your responsibility to be a hero or impress your
forward by Scoring or showing fancy footwork. In fact it is not even
necessary to score in order to do your job. Never ever get upset if you
never score. Never ever self destruct which causes your muscles to tense
up and causes you to looses smoothness and effectiveness.
…B.1. Defensive Priority Responsibility is to execute a moving
defense , utililizing different patterns, dot blocking 2 of the three
main holes at all times. Three holes are 1.5 dot, Middle Dot, and 6.5 Dot.
Do not stack your defensive men as it restricts your ability to cover a
larger percentage of the hole. Also leave a ball or so distance between
your defending men, occasionally opening and shutting that hole as well or
making it look as if that hole is shut when it's actually open , or open
when it's actually shut.
…B.2. Do not overreact and bail your men out when banks and mis-executed shots come wildly at you, stay calm and cool smoothly
moving the required men in a "tight two man defensive crap saving
zone" or a single man to get a piece of the mis-executed shot in order
to attempt to keep it out of your goal.
…C.1. Never ever get upset when someone scores on
you.. remember they have the ball and the advantage in knowing when
they will start the shot and where they will shoot it. Just do your best
to reduce the number of shooting holes and to not leave any holes open too
long. Never ever get upset if you never score. Never ever self destruct
which causes your muscles to tense up and causes you to looses smoothness
and effectiveness, which later causes move fumbles and shot mis-executions.
