Sliotars: 2
Cones: 6
Skills: Striking, Control, Handpass, Catching
Level of Effort: 2.5/5
Level of Complexity: 2.5/5
Set-up:
Two (or three) players line up at six cones, A to E, as shown below. Players 1 and 4 start with a ball at cones A and D. The drill is repeated around two interconnected triangles.
The ball will travel clockwise in one triangle and anti-clockwise once it crosses to the other. This will force the players to perform the skills included off both sides.
Description:
Player 1 strikes the ball at head height for player 2 to catch at cone B and runs to cone B. 2 catches the ball and handpasses to 3 and moves to C. 3 takes the ball and strikes a low ball along the ground to the first player at cone D and moves to the end of the line at D.
At the same time player 4 has begun the same cycle on the other side by striking the ball for player 6 to catch and cone E. He handpasses it to 6 at cone F who strikes the ball along the ground across to the first person at cone A and the cycle begins again.
Skills:
At Ⓐ control a low ball and strike to the hand off the right.
At Ⓑ catch the ball and hand pass to the left.
At Ⓒ catch a handpass and strike along the ground off the right.
At Ⓓ control a low ball and strike to the hand off the left.
At Ⓔ catch the ball and hand pass to the right.
At Ⓕcatch a handpass and strike along the ground off the left.
Variations:
A) If players get very proficient at this introduce a third ball into the cycle.
B) Move cone B back a further 10 or 15 metres to encourage a longer strike and have the players catch the ball running onto it and also give the handpass to the next player on the run.
C) Introduce token opposition for the handpass to force the player to pass around/over the defender.
