To teach beginners the push pass effectively, you can incorporate the following drills:

1. Stationary Push Passes: Start with having the players practice stationary push passes to get the technique right. Emphasize the following points:

• Feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent.
• Push the ball with the toe of the stick, keeping the head of the stick low.
• Follow through towards the target.

1. Moving Push Pass: Progress to practicing push passes while the players are moving. Have them walk or jog while passing the ball back and forth to each other.
2. Partner Passing: Pair up the beginners and have them practice push passes to each other. Encourage them to focus on accuracy and the weight of the pass.
3. Obstacle Course Passing: Set up a simple obstacle course and have players pass the ball through the obstacles using push passes. This drill helps with control and accuracy.
4. Three-Person Passing: Form groups of three players and have them pass the ball around in a triangle, focusing on quick and accurate push passes.
