7 Min Give and Go Shooting to X
10 Min 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


20 Min Skeleton Plays
  • Deuce and Deuce Long (Zack and Tommy)
  • Dodging to open space and finding free space on cuts
10 Min Clears
  • Work on full field clears - "Press" - mid middie breaks right after shot

  • Setup 3 lines of dark and 2 lines of white behind the cage
  • Out of bounds up top is the box line
  • Coach throws a ball to the dark line
  • Defense and Offense play 3v2
    • Offense sets up in a triangle with a guy at x
  • Once a shot, turnover or goal happens, coach passes the ball to one of the two white players behind
  • Then the 3 dark players are on defense and the 4 white players are on offense
    • Offense sets up in a box
