2 v 2 Circle ground ball dril
Split everyone into two teams (ex: gray and white or whatever color reversible pinnies you have).
At the center circle, make four lines, the same team across from each.
The coach has all the balls and can move freely around the outside of the circle.
To start the drill, they toss a ground ball or high ball into the circle.
The first player from each line runs out to pick up the ground ball.
Once the ground ball is possessed, that colored team needs to get two consecutive passes inside the circle.
Once they have completed two passes, the player with the ball needs to exit the circle closest to one of their colored lines to get a point.
If a player steps out of the circle, the ball goes outside the circle, or a player carriers it outside but not near their colored line then the play is dead and no one gets points.
Once the ball is dead or a team receives a point, the feeder sends in a new ball for the next four players in line.
Play to 21 points.
Equipment Needed:
Center circle or a coned off area, balls
Skills Emphasized:
Ground balls, communication
Coaching Points of Emphasis:
Attack: Emphasize communication so the player picking up the ground ball knows where their teammate is and can get a quick pass out of the ground ball. It is also important to communicate, so they are giving productive passes that can get them out of the circle closest to their team line.
Defense: Communicate and mark up quickly, so the attack can’t get an easy pass. Look to double the ball once they have two passes, so they can’t get out of the circle.
