    Aerial Ball | Passing & Receiving

    Aerial Ball:

    Aerial pass or flick is useful when passing over distance or to try and get the ball over an opponent who is blocking your passing route.

    Left hand should be pointed at target, knees bent, head over the ball and feet wide apart.

    Drop the right shoulder and transfer your weight forward, bringing through head of the stick under and behind the ball.

    Left hand comes through first and then the right hand to lift and guide pass.

    After lifting the ball body and arms should continue to move forward and end up pointing at passing target.

    Ball into Space | Passing & Receiving

    Ball into Space:

    Player 1 runs into the space to receive the ball from player 2 who:

    1. Can hit or push the ball
    2. Can give an aerial ball into the space.

    The player looking to receive the ball then runs into the circle and shoots.

    All the Way Across | Passing & Receiving

    All the Way Across:

    Teams of 4 try and pass the ball across the pitch as quickly as possible, not missing any players out.

    Each player should at least touch the ball twice. The first team to pass the ball 10 times across the pitch is the winner.

    Back to Front | Passing & Receiving

    Back to Front:

    5 Players, 2 balls. The player in the middle has to pass the ball from a player behind to player in front, first on the right and then on the left.

    First exercise standing still, then whilst moving up the pitch. IMPORTANT that the outside players stay in square and keep the 5th player in the middle.
