Set Up
Set this passing drill up anywhere around the field, in the video we are using with the box area. Put 6 cones around the outside permitter and 4 cones inside. Split players into two groups and organize them in each box. Players on the inside will work together, and the players on outside will work together. The outside like will be stepping to their teammate with the ball, receive a pass, and roll away and change hands. They will then run towards the next cone teammate. The inside line, players will pop out, catch, rollaway and change hands, and make pass to teammate. For instance, if the ball is moving clockwise, players would catch with their right hand, roll away, put stick in their left hand, and make a pass to their teammate. Do each direction for 2-3 minutes, and then switch the inside lines with outside lines.
Coaching Points & Principles
- Make sure players are catching with their OUTSIDE hand and switching to make the pass
- Communication, calling for passes
- Emphasize getting the ball out of your stick quick!
Challenges:
see how many times the players can move the ball around the perimeter in 1 minute.
