Transfer weight from right foot (back foot) to the front foot (left)
while pushing the ball in a forward direction to player or wall
Reduce the amount of sound when you push. If you hear a stick
sound as you push, the stick was not connected to the ball when pushing the ball

200 STICK TRAPS
Set feet apart (shoulder width apart - left foot in front of right)
Hands apart (left hand at top and right hand where the grip meets the paint of stick)
Stay in a low position for strength
Be prepared to adjust position if the ball does not come towards your right foot
When receiving the ball, soften your hands, so the ball stays as close to the stick after impact. If ball bounces away from you, don’t hold the stick as tight
Learn to receive while moving to a new position. This may mean touching the ball to an area you want to go
Always be mobile when receiving and use your eyes to look around you before the balls gets to you. This will help you pre-scan during games and know where your next pass is
