Break the groups into two equal groups. Set up a series of consecutive mini pitches and have two players defending a goal and a cone to mark the middle. Players must stay in their own half at all times. The aim of the game is to score as many goals as you can within a 2 minute game. Rules are that each player must take shots to score a goal from inside their own half. Winner of the game after 2 minutes then moves up to the next pitch and losing player moves down. Overall winner is the player who remains the winner on the top pitch. Would suggest that all groups start with ground hurling, no striking from hand. Once the guys have demonstrated proficiency with ground strikes, we can then proceed to strike from hand. Key aims are: Improve the power and accuracy of ground hurling strikes Improves accuracy of striking from hand.
