A great drill to work on when your middies fail to get to the midline and ride against clearing middies. This teaches them to run back to the midline and then lock on their man, when a pass is made, the must get back to the hole and recover.

  • Put a goalie in the goal
  • The drill starts at the midfield line
  • The coach starts at the midline with the balls
  • The defense midfielders must stay with their man, while the offensive midfields look to get open for a pass from the coach
  • When the ball is passed the 3 offense guys run to the goal and the defensive guy runs to defend. The defensive guys must make sure they recover properly to the hole.
  • Keep score with a whiteboard
  • Flag motion 1-2 seconds straight then move towards the end lines
  • Maverick - middie cuts back to the end line and turn to the outside as its least likely to get doubled
  • Pinch - if the defensive player is running up the side, the middie clears through but staying onside (keeping the way clear)
  • Deep - the two middies run deep and the goalie tries to hit them
