Controlling the ball with your stick as you run is a vital skill to master.
STEP ONE
Keep the ball out in front of the right side of your body and away from your feet, at about 2 o'clock.
Keep the stick in contact with the ball as much as possible - it makes it easier to pass the ball in an instant and much harder for an opponent to tackle you without giving away a free hit.
STEP TWO
Your hands should be apart, with your knees bent and your back horizontal to the ground.
Try and practice dribbling so you are confident enough not to need to look down at the ball - keeping your eyes on what's going on in front of you will make you a much more threatening player.
STEP THREE
Be prepared to change pace and direction.
For close dribble keep the ball on the end of the stick.
For a fast dribble, tap the ball out in front.
