Goal
- To practise running through the ball in motion (accepting in the run).
Set up
- 2 players stand in a line (e.g. sideline)
- and 1 player stands 10-20 metres away.
- The first player of the team runs a few metres and then passes the ball to the second player.
- and passes the ball to the person standing alone.
- He starts running roughly at the time of the pass.
- This way, he runs through the ball at the moment he takes over.
- The person who passed then moves to the 1-ling position
- The exercise can be made more difficult by lengthening the distance between passes In addition, a passing move can be made before the pass.
- Divide the group in two.
- Everyone stands in his own free space.
- You can score points by dribbling to the pylon and return to the free space, this is 1 point.
- If you get tapped you have to go back, but it doesn't give you a point.
- After 2 minutes the 2 taggers are replaced.
- (first practice without ball and stick)

- You place 11 pylons at different distances, under each pylon you put a stack of city names.
- Each 2 tries to reach all 11 pylons as fast as possible.
- You dribble to a pylon, take a city map and take it back with you, tap the next one and it runs to another pylon.
- Each city you return to the trainer will be stamped on the 11 city card.
- Who reached the 11 cities first?
