A fun game to work on cradling and ball control!
Set Up
Put the players on one sideline, and creating a small playing area. Coaches are inside the playing area as sharks! Players must cradle and run with a ball to the other sideline, without dropping to losing the ball. Coaches should try to force players outside the playing area or check sticks. Keep repeating end to end, until you have 1 clear winner!
Coaching Points & Principles
- Cradling – Players should cradle to secure the ball
- Escapes – Maneuver around coaches protecting their sticks
