Time Drill
5 Min Active Stretching
10 Min Partner Passing
10 Min 2v1 to 4v3 Ground Ball
  • Drill works within the box, put a goalie in the net, and an attackman 2 yards behind GLE
  • Have two lines near the top of the box (offensive and defensive line)
  • Coach rolls a ground ball out, two players battle for the ball. If the defensive guy wins it, he clears it through the box. If the offensive guy wins it, it becomes a 2v1
  • When offense scores or defense clears, the two players go to the other side of the box. The drill repeats and it becomes a 3v2 and the coach rolls a ball
  • When the 3v2 finishes, the two guys continue to the other side of the box and play 4v3 and the coach rolls a ball
  • After the 4v3 it becomes the 2v1 again.


10 Min 4 Man Ground Ball into a 3v3

This drill was invented by Paul Myers. The goal of the drill is to reward the player who wins the ground ball with the opportunity to play offense. Defensively, this drill helps players drop back to the hole quickly and to find a man to cover.

  • Put a goalie in the net
  • Have 4 lines of guys at equal distance around the box (one line in each corner)
  • Have 2 additional lines of guys, one on each side of the box, in between the 4 guys fighting for the ball
  • The coach rolls the ball out, the 4 lines battle for the ground ball. The winner of the ground ball must break out, protecting the stick and the 3 guys that lose are now on defense
  • Upon possession, 1 guy from each of the middle lines runs out, and is on offense with the winner of the ground ball and the drill transitions into a 3v3
