• 30 sezc high knee running in place
• 30 sec lunges

• Float along the outside of the square.
• Not only looking at the ball but also looking forward/around you.

• Set up the exercise and where the ball is played to the team-mate it goes through the alley.

• A slalom exercise
• watch how the hands are holding the stick
• where they have the ball
• And if they use the stick properly when they run through the exercise!
• If it goes well, you can make a game of it and see if they master this. The team that has been through all the exercises first has won.

• Players divided into two groups on one side of the field.
• Two rows of cones next to each other.
• Players pass the ball back and forth while walking past the cones.
• Variations
  • Individuals keep ball high along a row of cones, both groups independent of each other.
  • Passing the ball two by two
  • Individually dribble two balls at the same time, slalom through the cones
  • Pass the ball and dribble a second ball at the same time (player says yes).
  • Three of you play over 2 balls to the other side.

Purpose

• Practicing different techniques. (Also useful to observe how things are going during the 1st training).

Set up

• All players line up on the baseline (or another line) and do a certain
• and do a certain exercise until the 23m line (or another line).
• This can be only floating, or floating + at whistle a drag or lift, etc.
• Important is that it is not about the fastest, but the best!
• You can make it easier or more difficult by making a difference in the exercise.

Goal

• To regain that ball feeling and get back into the swing of things.

Set up

• The players form pairs
• and they stand opposite each other on a few meters (5 for example).
• Then they start pushing each other.
• At a certain moment, they take some more distance and start flattening.

Goal

• The goal of this exercise is to learn to look ahead when floating. In addition, you train your ability to react.

Set up

• The players line up on, for example, the back line.
• The trainer stands 10-15 metres away from the players.
• At an agreed signal, the players start drifting towards an imaginary line at your height.
• But in the meantime, they have to look in front of them, because you raise a certain number of fingers and the players have to say that number.
• To make this exercise more difficult, you can ask the players to make a passing move on an agreed signal, or you can make the distance bigger, or the players have to walk instead of saying the number, to a point which corresponds with the number.

• A plays the ball to the incoming B
• B rebounds the ball
• A drives a little
• B offers himself wide and A plays the ball into the space to B
• Because of B's running action outside, C makes space by running inside.
• B accelerates during his running action with the ball over the back line.
• C has gone towards the dot
• B passes, C rounds off (one-touch).

Variation: Exercise 2x.

Start with a three-run.

• A floats with the ball, when A is halfway, he pushes the ball out of the run to B.
• B does the same (to C)
• etc.
• Apply differentiation.

Possibly after this warm-up play another game of possession.
