Key Requirements
Gear: Mouth Guard, Game Shoes, Stick, Pads (Optional)
Time: +/- 6 Minutes
Members: 3
Communication Points: “Ball Down,” “I’ve Got Ball,” and “Release!”
Get Started
- To begin, make two lines, side-by-side. Have a coach, or third player, step to the side with a few balls.
- The coach will roll the ball out into open space and yell “GO!”
- The first person in each line will take off after the ground ball and attempt to win it.
- Once the ball is picked up, the person without the ball becomes the defense and will apply pressure to the ball carrier.
- The ball carrier should attempt to break free of the defense by rolling away from pressure and looking for the coach.
- Once clear of the defense, a pass back to the coach can be made and the next group will be ready to begin.
- If no coach is present, the former ball carrier can go replace the spot where he made his pass to, and receive the next pass from the current drill.
- The former outlet person will then hop in the shorter line.
