Receiving On The Forehand:

Receive ball in front of the right foot with weight on right foot in order to pass ball in either direction.

Eyes should watch the ball onto the stick and players should "Cushion" the ball with soft hands on receipt (stick moves back a little to give as the ball is received).

As players improve they should have some idea of what they will do next having looked (scanning before they control the ball) they may pass left or right or run with the ball etc.

1st touch is also important because it allows you to put the ball where you want to use it next.

Balance as ball is received, prepare early to pass ball and move away with ball as mentioned above.

Video Techniques

Passing right to left in pairs:

Players in pairs run along the length of one side and pass the ball from right to left on the move to the other player.

The player receiving the ball must do so with their reverse stick, before then pulling the ball round and running back to the cone they started from to pass the ball right to left back to the other player.
