A stick to help coaches train field hockey goalkeepers.
What does the product do?
This stick allows a coach, player or parent to flick the ball easily at the goalkeeper. The speed is controlled by the user and can be used softly for beginners using their hands and more power for advanced keepers simulating top level drag flicks. Its also heaps of fun for outfielders to play with!
