Watch as Coach Peter Dolan explains, and a player demonstrates this right- and left-hand clamp faceoff drill. The hand placement on a right-hand clamp is the palm up to the sky and the thumb on the top of the stick. The focus is on getting the stick to the ball stop while punching down the line into the ball. The top of the thumb should be across the mid-line into the ground. The butt end of the stick should also cross the mid-line. The left-hand clamp involves using one hand and getting the butt of the stick over the mid-line.
Peter Dolan was previously a coach at High Point University and Rutgers University.
