Dribbling/Ground
Stopping a Ground Ball
Roll & Block
This is a basic drill to practice the ground block technique
Organisation
- Mark out a distance of 5m using cones
- Divide the players into pairs, one ball per pair
- The first player from each pair rolls the ball gently to the strong side or between the legs of their partner who attempts to block it
- Continue to alternate the roles, repeating the drill for a set time
STEP Variation
- To increase the challenge: Increase the distance between the players and allow them to strike the sliotar
- Against a wall: the player rolls the ball under arm against the wall and blocks the rebound
- A large sliotar makes the technique easier to perform; a smaller sliotar makes it more difficult
