Players will be required to run (game speed) to the ball, pick it up ensuring they are scooping while running, bringing the stick in close to the body for protection and getting into a full, effective cradle. When they reach the next set of markers they drop the ball and continue on to the next ball. Repeat about 5 times. Will have an area for a dodge in the middle of the markers. Girls may do any type of dodge they would like; i.e., face dodge, roll dodge, double face dodge, etc.
(Evaluators will be looking for the full speed run, back hand down for a good scoop, protecting the stick/ball after the scoop, and a good cradle close to body but no closer than 7” to the head. Looking for a good dodge, face dodge, roll dodge, double face dodge, etc. Score will be based on a subjective evaluation of how the players are performing.
