Goal: This drill is a great way to keep five players actively practicing a variety of receptions at a fast pace and in a controlled environment. This drill is well suited for stick-and-ball warm up.
Skill Emphasis:
Drill:
1. Player 1 leads through the middle gate.
2. Player 2 passes the ball.
3. Player 1 receives the ball using the prescribed reception (open reception, fade reception, drop-step reception, etc.).
4. Player 1 passes the ball to player 3.
5. Player 2 leads through the middle gate.
6. Player 3 passes the ball.
7. Player 2 receives the ball using the prescribed reception and passes the ball to player 4.
The drill is continuous, stopping after a certain number of passes are complete or the coach recommends moving to a new reception.
Recommended:
Consider sending a bouncy ball into the middle gate to work on receiving not-so-perfect passes.
After working through a host of receptions, allow players a final round to be creative and choose their own receptions.
Watch our video on YouTube for a demonstration of the drill.
