Your legs and elbows should have a slight bend in them. Move one hand and the opposite foot forward as you crawl. For example, crawl forward with your right hand and left foot. As you move forward, make sure to keep your core stable. Crawl forward about 20 yards and then back to your starting position. Repeat 4 times.
STICK/FOOTWORK SKILLS There are several fun and easy drills you can do in very limited space. Aerial Dribbling: See how many times you can use your stick to bounce the ball in the air without it falling to the ground. This will help with hand/eye coordination. Each time you complete this exercise, try and beat your previous score. Pulling: Lay another stick (or something roughly that length) down on the ground and pull the ball from side to side along the stick. See how many times you can pull the ball from one side to the other and back in two minutes. Indian Dribble: You will need a little more room for this drill. Find a grassy area and work on jogging with the ball pulling it across your body using your reverse stick. Figure Eights: Place two cones (or soup cans/whatever you have available) about two feet apart. Work on pulling the ball around the cones in the shape of a figure eight. See how many times you can complete the pattern in two minutes. HAVE A WONERFUL SUMMER! Follow the program so that we can enjoy a wonderful season at all levels!
