- Set up a hurdle. Have the player drag the ball right to left, and then lift the ball over the hurdle
- The initial drag is just as important as the lift. This will cause a defender to commit to a flat stick challenge
- Players often advertise they are going to lift the ball by opening their stick face too early. Emphasise this is a bad habit
