Air Dribble Drill

For the air dribble you need to be able to keep the ball in the air off the ground as long as possible.  In order to build up the number of times you can "dribble" the ball on your stick start off by:

1. Throw the ball in the air to yourself, hit it with the stick then catch it when it comes back down. 
2.  Once you are able to do this without the ball dropping, increase the times you hit the ball on the stick.
          - throw the ball up and dribble it twice, then catch the ball with your hand.
          - throw the ball up and dribble it three times, then catch the ball with your hand.
3. When you have reached a high number, then try to air dribble with the ball starting on the ground.

THE LOWER YOUR HAND - THE MORE CONTROL YOU HAVE OF THE STICK.

Flick Drill

This drill is to work on stationary flicks:

1. Stand infont of a goal about 15-20 meters away.

2. Line balls along the meter line.

3. Starting with your stick on the ball, wedge it under the ball.

4. Bend your knees and shift your weight from the back to the right foot and release the ball.

5. After you have released the ball make sure your wrists have flipped over.

6. Repeat the drill down the line of balls.

Drill Tip: The faster you can shift your weight and rotate your wrists, the faster and harder your flick will move the ball.

GET LOW AND HAVE STRONG WRISTS!

Sweep Drill

1. Set up cones to make goals that are 3 meters wide, with 5 meters in between each goal along the turf.

2. Place a ball 5 to 7 meters away from the "goal"

3. Start at the first goal; run up and hit the ball between the cones.  Continue until you have hit all the balls. 

Success tips:

Repeat this drill to increase your accuracy and power on the sweep.

As you improve make the goals smaller and place the ball farther away from the goal.

KEEP HANDS CLOSE TOGETHER AT THE TOP OF THE STICK!
