The safest way to practice deflections? The Kookaburras’ way!

Sometimes training deflection can be a risky subject: passes go wrong, the ball gets lifted, hence, the players get scared. The Kookaburras are using a “safety” net in front of the players that allows them to see where the ball is coming with added protection.

We found this video which was uploaded by the Kookaburras assistant coach, Nathan Eglington, to his Instagram account.
