10-Minute Ground Ball Drill

Goal: win loose balls cleanly — get low, scoop through, protect the stick.

1) Stationary scoops (3 minutes)

• Place ball, approach, scoop through in one motion
• “Get low, hands down, scoop and cradle away”
• 10 reps each hand

2) Rolling ground balls (3 minutes)

• Roll the ball 5–10 feet, chase it, scoop on the run
• Run through the ball — don’t stop over it

3) Contested approach (2 minutes)

• After scooping, immediately cradle and change direction

4) Scoop and pass (2 minutes)

• Scoop, cradle once, hit the wall or a target
