Set Up
Put players on the sideline in groups of 5, and a coach about 8-10 yards away. The players can start with a ground ball, it just carry. They will cradle the ball up to coach, who will shade their front or back side. Depending on what angle the coach taks, the player will either roll away and exchange hands, or curl/run away from pressure keeping their stick in strong hand.
Coaching Points and Principles
- Cradling – keep the stick protected up by the shoulders
- Roll Away – Drive off inside foot, and pop your hands away to protect stick, LET THE STICK LEAD YOU, then exchange hands
- Curling – Keep that stick shielded in front between your shoulder blades and accelerate through
- Carry the ball back to line, or make a pass
Progressions
- Add in passes
- Add in QB passes
