BEGINNER 

• Place a garbage can in the middle of the face-off circle (if no garbage can is available, another option is aiming to get the ball into a basketball net - if in a school gym). 

• Have players grouped in 4-6 lines depending on numbers (aim for 2-3 players per line if possible), with lines spread out evenly across the floor (north-south orientation), on one side of the restraining line.  Coaches should be on the other side of the garbage can, actively collecting balls to send back to the players.  Alternatively, the garbage can could be placed in the crease, with coaches behind the players instead of in front of them.  

• Lines should be an appropriate distance away from the garbage can, depending on age and skill level.  Place pylons on the ground to mark the start of each line, where required.  

• *Variation #1 (5-10 min):  "Taking Turns."  On the coaches whistle all players at the front of their line lob the ball at the garbage can, trying to get it in.  The winner is determined in a sudden death format, although a one time rebuttal shot may also be permitted.  Everyone except the winner must do push-ups, sit-ups, body weight squats, sprints, etc.

*Most common error = players not using enough arc lob when passing
