This is a basic drill to practice the Ground Flick technique

Organisation

  • Divide the players into pairs; one ball per pair
  • Place six markers in a line 2m apart
  • Player A is positioned in front of Player B with the ball at their feet
  • Player B jogs alongside Player A to flick the ball away one handed
  • Player A does not attempt to play the ball
  • Player B recovers the ball and moves to the next cone for Player A to flick, and so on
  • The players should practice coming from both sides 

STEP Variation

Task - When the players can flick the ball from a stationary opponent, both players should jog into the ball
