On the first whistle, each player rolls a ball out about five yards in front of them. At the second whistle, they run to the ball, get in scoop position and then freeze. On the third whistle, players scoop through and sprint to the next designated point.
10 Min	Footwork Approach Above GLE https://www.hoganlax.com/approach-above-gle Drill is useful on how to approach a man above GLE Approach is when sliding or adjusting to your man getting the ball We want to take away the inside of the field while approaching the man Setup Setup 2 cones at the top of the box at the start of the alley Setup 2 cones about 10 feet in front of the crease with 10 feet in between Have the defense, goalies, middies stand behind the goal Have the players run to the first cone, stop then sprint to the cone at the top of the alley, and breakdown Back should be turned towards the inside of the field, then sidestep out 45 degrees Players should run both sides of the field
10 Min	Star Recovery Drill Star Recovery Drill Interior cones mark out the “heart,” or most dangerous area of the field. Practice covering inside out and back again on-ball defenders have one responsibility: stop the ball carrier. Off-ball defenders need to worry about protecting the inside, keeping head on a swivel with assigned attacker, and be ready to cover open players should you need to slide Setup two sets of cones like in the diagram Kids start at the X's and approach and recover at each cone Exterior cones represent an offensive player preparing to dodge. Defender slides to cones on an angle, not a direct line. Stick should be up field when breaking down on the exterior cones. Stick should be to the inside (in passing lanes) at interior cones. Variation: Add offensive guys on the outside and one in the crease, pass the ball around, have the whole team defense approach and recover
