Players in pairs, one ball between 2. When coach starts counting, the blue player dribbles to the other side. When the coach finishes counting (vary the speed of counting) and says CHASE, the red player tries to catch up and tag their partner. Players swap roles each time. Switch partners every few rounds.
Progression: 1) "SWITCH" means blue dribbling player stops the ball, and tries to tag red player who is running back to the starting line. 2) Try and steal the ball using your stick.
- Left elbow high, hands far in front of body to dribble fast and with vision.
- To 'shave/steal tackle', use one hand on the top of the grip, with stick on the ground. Follow the ball with the stick until you find a good time to take the ball.
