The five-person weave is a fast, dynamic passing drill designed to give players more touches and improve their stick control. Instead of scrimmaging with 24 players and only one ball, this drill forces constant movement, catching, flipping, and finishing with a shot. It teaches girls to handle the ball in their outside hand, communicate, time their cuts, and finish under pressure. This is a great option for any coach who wants a high-energy drill with clear purpose and simple structure.

Place the girls in a straight line or light stagger. They will be in constant motion throughout the drill.
Have the group begin at a slow pace so they can learn the timing of the flips and catches.
The key rule: the inside player flips the ball to the next cutter. This flip should be controlled, short, and easy to catch.
The player coming around catches the ball in her outside hand, keeping her body between the defender (imaginary) and the stick.
