Passing/Receiving

Sweep Passing

Have players face one another with a small gate between them. Getting your grip low to the ground (hands together), start practicing the sweep hit with the ball stationary and then progress to hitting it on the move. Big rotation of the stick with your left leg forward making sure the ball is out in front

Variations/Coaching Tips

• Make sure the ball isn’t close to their feet
• Increase the distance as they get better
• Emphasize the right technique first (make sure they keep their stick on the ground at all times)
• Rotation and follow through are very important
