Ask any successful FOGO specialist, college or pro, the secrets to consistently winning face-offs, and they will tell you – constant drilling. Effective drills improve reaction time, hand-eye coordination, arm strength and technique. This App provides you with the necessary tools to perform these drills and can be used alone or with a partner. The three apps in one will enable you to achieve your FOGO goals and win more face-offs – giving your team the competitive advantage of possession time.

What are the FOGO drills and how do I use the App?
The App was designed with three drills in mind – The Chop, The Clamp and the Full Face-Off. Perform these drills or create your own using the tools provided in the app.

The Chop:
Assume faceoff SET position with ball at X and your shaft parallel to the mid-field line. Holding the end of the stick firmly against the turf with your left hand, lift the head of the stick over the ball and back – in rapid succession. Count how many reps you can complete in the chosen amount of time. Repeat this drill for 3 sets. You will notice a significant burn in your arm – which will ultimately contribute to you being quicker and stronger off the whistle.

The Clamp:
This drill is designed to improve your reaction time to the whistle and establish muscle memory to win position on the Clamp technique. Set the option to the desired number of reps and click start. With each whistle, the objective is to clamp quickly – and return to starting position. Over time, this drill will foster an automatic response to the whistle resulting in more faceoff wins.

Full Face-Off:
This drill allows for practice of the full face off – from directing the ball through grabbing the ground ball. When practicing alone, use this drill to practice a full faceoff technique – repeatedly.
When drilling with a partner, select the desired settings in the options – and faceoff against a live opponent with a random referee cadence. No third parties needed and no advantage to either player starting the drill.
