Run-Through Drill
by
This is a good run-through drill that is pretty easily set up on any speedball field.
Firstly, you need a straight lane to run through. On both sides of the lane, there should be bunkers to the left and right spaced roughly 5-10 ft. apart. Behind these, set up paint boxes, buckets, whatever is handy at the time. The objective is to run through these, switching hands as you go, shooting the objects set up behind the bunkers, as fast as you can.
Make sure to emphasize that the object is to make the kill, not complete the run through as fast as possible. This would be more realistic, because in a game, you don’t keep running if you missed on your run-through.
This is a great way to enhance speed, accuracy, and ambidexterity.

one small addition: raise the targets up about 18″-24″. This is about the chest height of a crouching opponent!
