Set Up
Put 4 lines on the side of the field, or inside a playing area you designate. 2 of the 1st 4 players in line will start with a ball. On whistle, the 2 balls will be rolled out, try to shoot for 5-10 yards (not too far or short). All balls are live for any player to get. You will end up with 2 ground ball battles. Players must use anticipation and recognize which ball they have a better chance at, and then go try and win in! Once you win a ball, you must carry back to pass back to the teammate who was behind you in line at the start.
Coaching Point and Principles
- Awareness and Anticipation
- Groundballs! Find a ball and win it. Accelerate through to win possession
- Stick work and protection – Run away vs pressure, be aware of your teammate who is waiting for the ball!
Progressions
- Add in more lines/balls
