- 5 cones positioned around the net, top near the box
- Player should pop-out or pop towards the ball to mimic getting open
- Move the ball around the net, catch on the outside, turn, switch hands and pass on the outside
- Move your feet to get ready to receive the ball
- Run to the line you pass to
- Quicker we move the ball the tougher the defense can recover
- Receive the pass, one or two craddles, then make accurate pass
- Variation: Use a long pole as a limbo GB, coach places ball, player drops their ball

Good drill to help the defense with their approaches to the ball.
- Have defensive players pair up
- Group 4 defensive players together
- Have two outside players about 15-20 yards apart
- Put a line of cones down the middle, each of the side guys are 5-10 yards from the cones
- Put two defenders in the middle, one covers the man with the ball, the other with his foot on the line, but towards the other offensive guy
- A man passes to the next, defense must adjust and give a lift check, The other defender runs to the mid line
- After the lift check the defense stops engaging, player makes the pass, defense adjusts again
- Far Defense guy keeps their stick up looking to intercept passes
