Hitting

Have players face one another with a small gate between them. Hands are together, hitting the ball with their head down. Bending the left knee and keep their momentum moving forward making sure their left shoulder is in-line with where they want the ball to go

• Make sure the ball isn’t close to their feet
• Increase the distance as they get better
• Emphasize the right technique first (leaning forward, head down, follow through of the stick over the shoulder)
• Remain side-on the entire time
• As the kids get more skilful and are exposed to more techniques, add them into this drill
