A great drill to work on when your middies fail to get to the midline and ride against clearing middies. This teaches them to run back to the midline and then lock on their man, when a pass is made, the must get back to the hole and recover.

  • Put a goalie in the goal
  • The drill starts at the midfield line
  • The coach starts at the midline with the balls
  • The defense midfielders must stay with their man, while the offensive midfields look to get open for a pass from the coach
  • When the ball is passed the 3 offense guys run to the goal and the defensive guy runs to defend. The defensive guys must make sure they recover properly to the hole.
  • Keep score with a whiteboard
  • Flag motion 1-2 seconds straight then move towards the end lines
  • Maverick - middie cuts back to the end line and turn to the outside as its least likely to get doubled
  • Pinch - if the defensive player is running up the side, the middie clears through but staying onside (keeping the way clear)
  • Deep - the two middies run deep and the goalie tries to hit them

  • Evaluate the Long Poles
  • Evaluate distance of the goalie
  • Bring our middies low

Face Off Wing Positions

  • If their wing guys are on their side of the field, lineup our wing guys on the inside of the man hip to hip on their side of the field
  • On our face off guy, butt end side, box out then sprint at angle back to get the rack
  • On our face off guy, stick head side, box out and hope to get a ground ball
  • If their face off guy is winning get our stick head guy to move to our defensive side of the field
  • If we are losing run to the top of the box


10 Min Face-Off to Fastbreak
  • Put a goalie in the net and 3 attack and 3 defense
  • Have your middies at the midline in two lines on opposite sides of the field
  • 4 middies are in the drill at once. Two middies face off, the middie line on their butt end side is on their team
  • We do the face off, the face off guys, look to pop the ball out to a wing guy, the wing guy that wins it goes down for a fast break, the other players are out of the game play
  • Keep score on each side of the midfield
  • Alternatives: Have a chaser middie after 2-3 seconds and have the face-off middie go mono vs mono
