Criss Cross Passing

Stick skills
Written By Joseph Juter

This is a great drill that forces players to catch the ball at more realistic angles similar to what they will see in a game.

Drill description:

  • The players who catch the ball in the air, roll a ground ball to the next player. 

  • The players who receive a ground ball, throw the ball in the air. 

  • Depending on the number of players in the drill, you can add multiple balls.

Equipment needed: 

  • 4 cones

  • 1-2 balls

Coaching points of emphasis: 

  • Communicating with teammates about where the ball is coming from 

  • Timing of cut towards the ball 

  • Running through the ball whether it’s on the ground or in the air 

  • Moving the ball quickly to the next player
