Set Up
Set up the players in lines of 4 or 5. Each player starts with a ball. On coaches whistle, each player will roll their ball out about 8-10 yards DIAGONALLY (Not straight ahead). Each player must go retrieve a ball that wasn’t theirs. You will notice 2 players may go to the same ball, which allows for a little extra competition. After they secure a ball, they will make a pass to the next teammate in the line they started in or go to the goal and take a shot as you see here with a smaller group.
Principles and Coaching Points
- Ground ball principles, getting low and accelerating through the ball
- Finding ground balls in traffic
- Awareness, teammates in line waiting for ball to call for it.
Progressions
- Take 1 ball away, so there are 4 players and 3 balls making it more competitive
- Add constraints, like using your off hand for added skill work
