The Roll Lift

Sweeping the hurley along the ground to lift a stationary sliotar into the hand — the first way to gain possession.

How to do it

Sweep the hurley along the ground and flick the ball up into your hand — like a little sweep and scoop!

For Parents & Coaches

01

Roll through

Push the hurley forward along the ground, don't jab.

02

Soft catch

Cushion the ball into the hand as it lifts.
