- Have all the kids line up in two lines on one side of the field
- One line has a ball, each pair of kids is partnered up
- Have the kids run down the field, catching and throwing in pairs, making sure they are catching and throwing with their stick in the direction they are running
- If a player misses the ball, the partner should follow to close the gap for passing
10 Min - Ground Ball Between Legs
When a kid is fighting 1 on 1 for a ground ball, teach the kids to hockey stick push the ball between their legs, and turn box out and get the ground ball.
10 Min - Ground Ball Bounce
Often times when playing on turf, passes are made down field and they fall short of hitting a player in the sticks. The ball bounces and kids can't react in time. This drill will help deal with bounce passes.
- On turf, make two lines of kids, or 4 lines (opposite of each other)
- Kids do a basic line drill but bounce pass to each other
- Next have long pass down the field to another kid, but to make the pass short, so the receiver must react to the bounce pass
- Finally work on clear like patterns up the field and have kids react to bounce passes while running
10 Min - Kamikaze Drill - Split dodge drill https://youtu.be/e953HLWIX20
- Short choppy steps, change speed and direction
- run towards each other split dodge
- use shoulders and hips
- Sell it one way, come back the other way
- Change to the other way (left to right, right to left)
- Optional make 2 additional lines to pass and catch before and after split dodge
10 Min - Cutting Drills, step between legs to get open
