Partner Passing – Short & Long

Set Up

Put players in lines, about 5-8 yards away. They will run while passing the ball back and forth keeping their hips upfield, it’s not a shuffle. Players will catch and throw with their upfield/outside hand.  One line is catching R and Throwing L, and the other is doing the opposite. Once they get to the end of field, they will cure to the outside and now throw longer passes going back to where they starters. Have them run the width of the field as 1 rep. Complete again so players can work on their opposite hands

Coaching Points & Principles

  • Keep your stick up as a target for your teammate when you don’t have the ball
  • Short Passing – Make good passes keep the ball in the air so your teammate can make an easy catch
  • Long Passes – try to lead your teammate so they don’t have to stop running
