Rodeo Groundballs

Set Up

Put your players in 3-5 lines, depending on your roster/group size. Every line has a ball, and on whistle, the first player in every line rolls their ball out about 10 yards, on an angle (Not right in front of themselves)

Every player must go find a ball to pick up, and either throw or carry back to their next teammate in line.

Progressions

  • Take 1 ball away – 4 lines w/ 3 balls – 1 player will have to battle to win the last GB, and can play defense and try to take away from another player with a ball
  • Take 2 balls away – 4 lines 2/ 2 balls – 2 players will have to battle to win GB, and can play defense and try to take away from another player with a ball

Coaching Points & Principles

  • Ground balls – Get low and accelerate through
  • Spacial Awareness – Find a ball and attack it before another player gets there
