Target Sweep

Aim: To improve sweep hit accuracy.

How: Use 10 cones to set up 5 goals or targets that are 2 yards wide each. These goals should be positioned at different angles and should be at least 12 yards from 2 separate lines of balls. Try and have at least 5 balls in each pile. Place the piles around 6 yards apart and start from a position in between them.

Run to one of the piles and execute a sweep hit trying to get the ball through one of the five targets. After this run to the other pile and do the same. Keep this up for 30 seconds, and see how many points are scored. Compete against another player to make it more exciting.

Progressions:

  • Move further from the targets, or make the targets smaller.
  • Play for a longer period
  • Use the reverse sweep hits

Coaching Points:

  • Look at the target before striking the ball
  • Make sure the ball is in the control box before hitting it
  • Hold the stick in the shake hands grip
