Diamond 2 Man Game

This drill is an on the crease two man game with two defenders. The objective of the drill is to pass the ball around the goal and make a pass to an inside guy who is cutting or picking to get open.

  • This drill involves at least 8 players
  • Setup 4 players in a diamond pattern around the goal (with the top player near the top of the box)
  • Put 2 offense and 2 defenders in the crease
  • Add a goalie
  • The 4 diamond passing guys pass the ball around the goal, holding it for a few seconds
  • The inside offensive guys look to set picks, do picks and rolls, and to play the 2 man game
  • Defense is reacting to where the ball is with sticks up
  • The outside players look to feed an inside guy (they cannot shoot the ball)
  • Players on the inside should play for about 45 seconds then rotate (if a goal is scored outside players grab another ball)
  • Defense should keep sticks up, check sticks, look to intercept, talk to each other
