1 on 1 Ground Ball - Pass Pass Shoot Drill
This drill mimics the need to make a pass quickly after successfully scooping up a ground ball.
- 2 players, a coach, and a goalie are required
- 2 players line up at the top of the box and the coach gently rolls out a ball
- The 2 players fight for the ball, the first person to get it passes to the coach on the sideline, and then breaks to the goal to catch a pass (give and go)
- Upon receiving the pass, the player attempts to score
- The player that does not get the ground ball, plays defense

Spider Drill
http://laxpower.com/laxnews/news.php?story=51130
The goal of this drill is to get a ground ball and transition to either offense or defense through the concept of "ground ball - pass - pass".
- Divide your attack and defense with different colors
- Split your middies between the two colors
- Put a goalie in the net
- Have two lines of kids behind the goal at the end line
- Coach should be at the restraining line with the balls (top of the box)
- Coach calls out a combination of players example: "Three O, two D" or "four O, Five D"
- Coach rolls out a ground ball and the players compete for possession
- If the offense players gain possession, they play to the cage
- If the defense players gain possession, they clear to the midfield line (even if man down)
- Coach calls out next players as the ball hits the restraining line
Focus on "ground ball - pass - pass" every time the offense gains possession of the ball. Have the guy scooping up the ball run to open space to make a pass
