  • Hockey drills, techniques and practices to improve game skills

    Today's game makes great physical demands on its players. The need for hockey players at every level to be highly skilled, tactically astute and athletically adept has never been greater. The fitness and conditioning that drive so many match-winning performances, once thought to be natural talents, are in fact very trainable. Now all players, whether young or old, professional or amateur, can be made faster, more agile, more explosive and ultimately better hockey players.

    SAQ Hockey features drills, programmes and techniques for hockey training that are guaranteed to:

    • improve speed
    • increase agility
    • develop multi-directional explosive action
    • improve acceleration
    • work on hand-eye-feet coordination.

    Starting with the fundamentals, SAQ Hockey progresses to more complex hockey-specific and position-specific drills. Easy to follow descriptions, clear diagrams and dynamic photographs make this an invaluable training resource that no player or coach can be without.
