Re: Tips for Driver Practice

Repetition is key. Develop a few drills and run them non stop until you're sick and then run them some more. One drill we have been working on is to receive ball from human player, pass over truss, pick up ball, score in high. Repeat, but score in low and alternate back and forth. The picking up off the ground and low goal scoring will help practice passing/receiving as well. Place some obstacles like garbage cans and recycling bins around the field to make the drivers work. Do this until you don't have any charged batteries left and then take a break. Repeat when batteries are charged.
