4 pass to a 5v4 break

By Joe Juter

This is a traditional 5v4 drill with a bit of a twist. A great way to sneak some extra stick work in and maintain the next players in line attention. Especially at the earlier levels when we run these drills all the players do not touch the ball and therefore do not work on the most fundamental skill of the sport. No waiting! Once the one group ends the new 4 up top begin passing and the expectation will be set that the players down low will be ready in time.
