Set Up
Use cones or lines on the field, to create a circle. Put the players around the circle, with 1 ball in play. It starts with a player passing or rolling a ground ball to a teammate. The player who scoops the ground ball, will look run, pass the ball to a new teammate. Continue this for 1-2 minutes. Player should replace or find open space in the circle after they roll the ball. Coach will give a clock count down, and when it ends, the player with the ball last will be removed from the game. Continue until there is 1 player left as the winner!
Coaching Points and Principles
- Ground Balls– Emphasize accelerating through the ground ball
- If Passing, focus on Catching – Show a target – get your stick up so the stick is points to the sky – DONT point your stick to teammate
- Awareness – know the clock, and have composure to get the ball and move it without dropping!
Progressions
- Have them pass, then cut into new space
