Time Drill
5 Min Active Stretching
5 Min Game Recap
  • Good
    • Outstanding Defense (2nd Half no goals)
    • 3 Goals from Middie Line 1
    • 5 of the goals were assisted
    • Attack placed excellent shots
    • Great goalie play
    • Rides caused problems for their offense
    • Middies on the rides stuck with their man and ran back to the hole perfectly
  • Bad
    • 4 times we tried to go through 2 and 3 guys and lost the ball on turnovers
    • Several times we had cutters wide open but the guys with the ball had their heads down
    • Stick needs to be up and ready to pass or receive the catch at all times
    • Near the cage, with the ball we don't need to side arm shoot at full speed, finesse shot.
    • Two goals were made because we over committed and then no slide

Pick and Slip Shooting

Purpose of this drill is to get 2 inside crease guys working together to receive a feed from behind the goal

  • Need 3 guys for the drill, 1 guy is behind the cage to one side with a bunch of balls
  • The other 2 guys can be setup either high and away(1) or setup at the 5 and 5 on each side of the cage
  • The crease guy closest to the feeder runs in, sets a pick and the other guy runs outside the pick popping out
  • The pick guy slips toward the cage and looks to receive a pass (3)
  • Pick guy becomes the shooter, with the rotation
