The hands of goalie must be relaxed and ready to catch the ball in every situation. Most of the mistakes are that hands are in dead position (touch a floor, leg or tightened). What is the optimal position of hands I have explained in the previous article (Floorball Goalie Training Hands I.Positions). I would like to shortly clarify the position of a palm in this text. Whole hand also palm must be perfectly synchronized o achieve the best performance.
1. Closed palm (picture 1): you cannot catch anything. This position is totally wrong and the maximum which you can do is bouncing the ball but never catch. If you see the goalkeeper to do this draw it to his attention and control him as much as you can.

2. Half closed palm (picture 2): still the palm is not 100% ready to catch the ball. Same of the balls will be still bounced.

3. Relaxed palm (picture 3): optimal position of the palm. The palm is ready to receive the ball without bouncing.

4. Tightened palm (picture 4): most of the balls will be bounced. To catch the ball is very difficult with this position. Say to the goalkeeper that he has to relax the palm and control him as much as you can.
