Minutes Drill Information
6:00 to 6:05 Man to Man Passing
6:05 to 6:25 Pick and Roll Drill
  • Set up 4 cones around the 12 and 8 meters, two cones up top and two on goal line extended out about 10 yards.
  • The balls are down low at the lower cones with X1. X1 looks to drive up the lane and accept a pick from X2.
  • X2 must time the pick and stay still until X1 passes and releases off the pick.
  • X2 then rolls off towards the goal and looks for the feed from X1. X1 must be sure to keep moving to create space to feed X2 in the middle.
  • Both lines are going at the same time, and all feeds end with a shot into the goal.

Station 2:

No Second Chances Ground Balls

Often times a player gets a first chance at a ground ball while unchallenged, but they often fail to field it cleanly and that is when the crowd joins in.

  • Partner up with one ball, a chaser and receiver
  • Coach rolls out the ball, receiver runs for it, chaser chases after 1 second
  • The receiver does not look back, he runs straight for the ball
  • Chaser attempts to poke or lift check the receiver when he is scooping
  • The receiver has to adjust his body to protect the back hand
  • The receiver runs to daylight and passes back to coach
  • If the chaser successfully disrupts the scoop he should box out and flick the ball to open space and then get the ground ball
