Find a space around the outside of the pitch and practice hitting the ball against the boards. Move around the players correcting technique. Better players can move further away from the sides. Both hands at the top of the stick. Ball in correct position half way between feet, just out from the body. Keep eye on the ball. Not too much back swing and a good follow through.
