Squares

1. Pitch is about 1/8th of the pitch (vary according to numbers of players)
2. Split players into 2 groups one group inside box and one outside
3. Outside players start with a ball each
4. Their action is to pass to a player inside – their reciprocal action is to pass to an outside player ASAP
5. This goes on for 1 minute

If there is nothing on then…

1. Keep drifting with the ball until a pass becomes available
2. Move and lead dynamically to offer a passing option to the ball carrier.

5 stages of receiving:

1. Show where you want to receive the ball with your stick on the floor
2. Pre-scan to where you want to pass or dribble too before you receive the ball
3. Receive the ball with soft hands in a 2 o’clock carry position
4. Post-scan before you make the pass to see if the game has changed
5. Make your pass using a lower body position to ensure maximum power.

• Reduce number of balls starting on the outside. Players on the inside must pass the ball to someone else on the inside without a ball before the pass can be made to the outside
• Cannot receive a pass from or give a pass to the same side consecutively
• Introduce 1 or 2 defenders to put pressure on the ball carriers
• Players on the outside must play a pass to another outside player before the ball can return to the middle.
