Set Up
Put 3 players back to back to back, with a ball on the ground in the middle. Give each player a number (1,2,3)Players must start with their stick on their shoulders and heads up, no cheating! On the whistle, it’s a live groundball. Who ever wins the ball, coach will yell out a number, that player is on defense and the 3rd player can now play 2v1 with the teammate who has the ball. You can make it a keep away game, or have them attack a goal.
