A good drill to work on passing at this age and the idea of always moving.
Set Up
Put player in groups of 6 around the field, 2 players will go at a time. The group will have 3 cones on each side, that are 10 yards apart each. Player A is the initiator andstarts with the ball, and make a pass to teammate directly across. Player A will spring to either side cone of theirs, and try to get a pass back while running, like a give and Go. Player B will then spring to mirror their teammate, so they can make another pass across, and then player A will spring back to the middle cone catching the ball on the run again. Flip roles, and once both players have gone wing to wing, rotate players (each group should be about 1-2 minutes)
Coaching Points & Principles
- Catching the ball on the run (like a give and go).. players should always keep their stick UP as a target when moving off ball
- Passing and Catching – Make sure the kids are doing the right passing and catching concepts (good target passes around teammates head / choking up to control the catch, etc..)
Progressions
- Put a defender in the middle, as a token defender, so each player needs to move to get open
- Cones further apart, more running
