• Have all the kids line up in two lines on one side of the field
• One line has a ball, each pair of kids is partnered up
• Have the kids run down the field, catching and throwing in pairs, making sure they are catching and throwing with their stick in the direction they are running
• If a player misses the ball, the partner should follow to close the gap for passing

10 Min - Ground Ball Between Legs

When a kid is fighting 1 on 1 for a ground ball, teach the kids to hockey stick push the ball between their legs, and turn box out and get the ground ball.

10 Min - Ground Ball Bounce

Often times when playing on turf, passes are made down field and they fall short of hitting a player in the sticks. The ball bounces and kids can't react in time. This drill will help deal with bounce passes.

• On turf, make two lines of kids, or 4 lines (opposite of each other)
• Kids do a basic line drill but bounce pass to each other
• Next have long pass down the field to another kid, but to make the pass short, so the receiver must react to the bounce pass
• Finally work on clear like patterns up the field and have kids react to bounce passes while running
