No Second Chances Ground Balls

Often times a player gets a first chance at a ground ball while unchallenged, but they often fail to field it cleanly and that is when the crowd joins in.

  • Partner up with one ball, a chaser and receiver
  • Coach rolls out the ball, receiver runs for it, chaser chases after 1 second
  • The receiver does not look back, he runs straight for the ball
  • Chaser attempts to poke or lift check the receiver when he is scooping
  • The receiver has to adjust his body to protect the back hand
  • The receiver runs to daylight and passes back to coach
  • If the chaser successfully disrupts the scoop he should box out and flick the ball to open space and then get the ground ball
