Quick release drill. Waiting for the perfect moment gives the goalie time to read the play and get set; the faster the release, whether the pass was perfect or not, the harder it is to react to. If it feels uncomfortable for the shooter, it is uncomfortable for the goalie too. Trains reaction, timing and the ability to capitalize before the goalie is ready.
Coaching points
- Shoot off the pass, do not settle it
