Set up
Put 6-8 cones down in a line on the field, and players in group of 3. The player up front, starts with a ball on the ground and their stick covering it. The second player in line will be trying to get the ground ball, and the 3rd player is chasing. Players will rotate through, and you will get high volume groundball reps!
Coaching Points and Principles
- Accelerate through the ground ball
- Trailer can try to disrupt with a lift or light check
Progressions
- Have the lead player do a light check during the ground ball
- To make it for less experienced players, don’t cover the ball, force the player to run under a stick to emphasize getting low for the groundball.
