Three Step Footwork
This is the easiest footwork to master and where flickers should start as far as footwork goes. You start with the right foot forward of your left one, left foot moves first, then you cross (cross behind or in front – whatever works) and then plant your left foot in front of the ball and pointing towards the goal. (see pictures below)
Notice the right foot has now crossed and is landing inside the circle. Also notice the weight rocking back and the hip rotation so the flicker’s upper body is facing away from goal.
See the back foot planted, the upper body rotated and all the weight over the back foot. Also see the left foot in the air so all the weight is behind the ball. Also notice the fairly upright pick up.
See the front foot ready to plant completely. Also see the weight transferring with the ball. Notice the head position and also see the ball rolling up the stick into the bow.
This is getting to the lowest part of the flick. Notice the head over the ball, the bent knees and back. Also pay attention to the back leg beginning to collapse so the weight can go through the ball.
