Pass Down The Line

Welcome to our latest video where we’ll be diving into an exciting skill: slapping the ball one touch down the line. This technique is all about accelerating the game and making quick, decisive passes to your teammates.

Imagine this scenario: You’re on the field, and you spot your teammate making a run down the line. Instead of trapping the ball and then passing it, we’re going to show you how to play it one time, straight down the line, if the pass is flat and accurate. It’s a fantastic way to speed up the game and catch your opponents off guard. There are two ways to execute this technique, depending on the situation.

First, let’s talk about the slap down the line with a step-in. In this method, you’ll want your hands positioned at the top of the stick, ready to deliver a powerful slap. As the ball approaches, you’ll step out with your left foot, extending your reach and accelerating the pass. The goal is to get the ball on your left foot, so if it’s coming towards your right foot, you may need to adjust your positioning. Remember to get low, maintain a half-moon motion with your slap, and ensure that the stick is straight upon impact. Timing is key when stepping in, so judge the speed of the ball and make your move at the right moment.

Now, let’s discuss the second technique for when the ball is moving at a higher speed and you don’t have time to step in. In this case, you’ll adopt a low stance with an open stance and shoulders. Your stick should be positioned at an angle where the ball can jump off it and bounce down the line. By maintaining this angle and staying low, you’ll redirect the ball quickly and efficiently.

Both techniques have their merits, and it’s important to practice and become comfortable with both. The key aspects to focus on are timing your step-in for the slap down the line and maintaining the correct stick angle and stance for the sit-and-deflect technique.

So, get out there and start practicing these one-touch slaps down the line. With time and dedication, you’ll become a master at accelerating the game and delivering precise passes to your teammates. Keep honing your skills, and remember to have fun while doing it!

Alright, guys, let’s get to work! Practice both techniques and watch as your passing game reaches new heights.
