OFTEN USED WITH...

Cone Dribble:

Put out a long line of cones, with 30cm between each cone.

This is always a good warm up exercise, ideal for when you are waiting for everyone to arrive and get ready.

Using both sides of the stick get your players to dribble through the cones as fast as they can with the ball under control.

Practices For Juniors

Ball Transfer:

Push off on your right foot with ball on forehand side.

Push off left foot with ball on reverse stick side.

Practices For Juniors

Back and Forth!:

Set up two cones about 2 meters apart.

Players dribble the ball back and forth between the two cones without taking their hands off their stick.

Practices For Juniors

Correct grip:

Watch position

When running or indian dribbling with the ball. The top hand should be in such a position that if the player was to wear a watch they can look at the time while performing the skill.

It may sometimes help to draw a cross on the hand of the player to remind them that this is the top hand and they should be able to look at the cross at any time.
