  • 2 goals on more than quarter field
  • Team 1 and 2 start in the field, team 3 over the back line outside the field. Team 1 starts with goalie
  • As soon as one of the teams scores, this team stays, the other team goes out and is replaced by the team on the side
  • There is always a turn so that the strong team stands by the goalkeeper.
    • Team 1 scores? Team 1 stays with the goalie, team 2 goes out and 3 comes in on the other side
    • Team 2 scores? Team 1 out, Team 2 by the goalie and 3 in on the other side
  • Teams always go in on the same side

drawing SPEED ON THE BALL
  • At a high level, the drag flick is a common variant of the penalty corner.
  • It is also the only variant where the ball can be played at high speed, high on the goal.
  • Below, the basic technique of the sledge push is explained in 4 steps.
  • The backhand stroke is useful for a shot on goal but also to pass to your teammate.
  • With the backhand, you place your left hand at the end of your stick and your right hand slightly above the middle of your grip.
  • Usually you play a backhand from the barrel.
  • When your right foot is in front you let the ball roll a little bit.
  • Meanwhile you turn your stick to the backhand, you bend your right knee and then you hit the ball with the part of your stick just above the curl (make sure the ball doesn't stick in the curl otherwise you have no control over it).
  • You can make the ball go low or high by turning your stick.
  • With a diagonal stick the ball flies upwards, with a straight stick it stays on the ground.

  • Sit-ups Make 2 pairs so that the players can take turns holding each other's feet.
  • Each player does these sit-ups: 10 times, 15 times, 20 times during which they rest by helping the other.
  • Put two players opposite each other in push-up position:
  • Have them try 1 by 1, 5 times in a row, to wipe each other's hands underneath.
  • Let them do this 3 times.
  • Everyone stands on their toes behind the back line, with their toes against the line.
  • Start by jumping 10 times on the line with your toes and jump back behind the line.
  • Build this up to 15 times and finally 20 times.
  • Always keep a 20 second rest during this exercise.
