Musical Ground Balls

Have all players lie down on their backs in a BIG circle. Their heads should be towards the center of the circle.

In middle of circle scatter lacrosse balls. There should be fewer balls than there are players. It is up to you how many fewer.

Blow whistle and players scramble to retrieve a ball. Upon scooping ball, player should return to his spot in the circle.

Those players who do not get a ball are "out."

Repeat drill (reducing the number of players & balls each time) until there is a winner.

This is a fun way to practice scooping, especially in a crowd. Teaches kids to scoop ball and get away from pressure.

If there is a large number of players, you can run two smaller circles simultaneously with each circles "winners" coming together for a final showdown.

Might want to find another drill for those who have been eliminated to do, while the circle plays down to a winner.
