This exercise uses 4 people, but more can be added, and also multiple groups can be used. 6 Cones are required. Player 1 runs from their cone into the box created by the cones. The player from the other cone (player 3) releases the ball into the box for player 1 to pick up. Following the blue arrows Whilst on the move, player 1 picks up the ball, and drives out of the box, and around the cone on their left. They then push/sweep the ball to player 2- the player on the cone they came from. Player 1 loops back to the cones they started on. This is repeated, as player 3 runs into the box, and player 2 releases the ball. Player 3 runs around the cone to their left, and passes the ball back to player 4, and jogs back to their own cone. Following the red arrows (increasing difficulty) The exercise is identical, however players loop around the cone on their right, which means they require a reverse stick push/sweep to return the ball.
If required, show players how to reverse stick sweep correctly, without accidently lifting the ball or using the back of their stick.
