stick is facing the wrong way.... and i don't know if this changes in High school but I think your stick isn't suppose to be stuck to the right side of your body...

That's at Alexander Dawson, that's where my team practices!!!

you did every thing right except the front part of the head needs to be facing the ground so if you lift the stick up when some one takes a shot or is pacing it to you will catch it. this will help you because when you lift up your stick you wont need to turn the shaft and catch the ball it will already be ready

@CMP230 if you are talking about the 70's style "mouth of the head" facing down, I disagree, the mouth of the head needs to face up, for the past 20 years its been facing up, quicker to pick up a GB. No advantage to what I infer you are promoting. If I am misreading your statemnt, holla.

[CMP230]

@M26MASH i meant it like if you raise you stick in the air when the head is facing down the head will befaceing the passer or the shooter and you will catch it in stead of lifting up and the twisting the stick to catch the ball or block a shot sorry if you dont understand thats just what my coach told me when we learned defence

[M26MASH]

@CMP230 No worries buddy.....I disagree with your coach (I coach and played), the stick should (in my opinion) be facing "up" as in the video, when playing on ball. As a defender, you arent trying to catch a shot or pass for that matter (if you should, great, but it is unlikely), you want to be in the position to impact a pass or shot and scope the Groundball as quickly as possible. I was once taught the way your coach told you, however, In my opinion, it is not as effective.

[CMP230]

@M26MASH that makes much more sence becuase you are more likley to scoop on d the stop a shot so that really helps its good to know this because i play middie and sometimes atack but now i know thank you ver much

[M26MASH]

@CMP230 anytime big man....like I said, just my opinion, but I have found that most effective.
