3D skills

Forehand Stick Dink:

Lifting the ball over a stick or changing direction by lifting the ball is a 3 D skill.

the lifting of the ball is much easier if there is a change of direction involved.

In this video clip the player moves the ball left to right before lifting the ball over the hurdle.

The forehand is set at a slight angle to the ball allowing the ball to be able to roll onto the stick and be lifted.

3D skills

Lifting in the direction of your run:

This is one of the hardest skills in 3D lifting the ball in the direction you are moving without a change of direction of the ball before.

Try not to make the players try this as a first one because the ball will keep rolling away and the players will not be able to get there stick under the ball.

Very important is that the player gets the stick as parallel and low to the ground ( pushing the top hand towards the pitch to lift the ball)
