A ground ball drill that works on playing with pressure and moving the ball quickly
Set Up
Put players in groups of 6 or 9, and have the 2 outside lines be offense, middle line is defense. Coach rolls a live GB into play:
- If the offense wins, defender must play the ball, and offense needs to make 3 passes
- If the defense wins, they run away from pressure and pass back to coach
Coaching Points & Principles
- Ground Balls – Accelerate through, start teaching “Ball” and “Man”
- Playing vs pressure, defense always pressure the ball or runs away from pressure
- Passing and movement – offense must move into passing lanes to connect 3 passes
