Correcting the players to run the ball in front of the body:

This practice is good to teach players to run the ball in front rather then by their side and to close to the feet.
Ask the player to not move their feet while trying to push the ball as far forward as possible. Just before the player loses their balance they can start moving their feet while keeping the ball at the same distance throughout their run.

Correction technique:

This exercise is very good for teaching players to run with the stick at the right angle.
Make the players run with the ball with both their hands near the ground. and tell them that after a couple 5 meters they can come up slow to where they feel comfortable.
This normally makes the players run lower then they where and also makes them keep the ball in front of them while running
