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
