  • 5 cones positioned around the net, top near the box
  • Player should pop-out or pop towards the ball to mimic getting open
  • Move the ball around the net, catch on the outside, turn, switch hands and pass on the outside
  • Move your feet to get ready to receive the ball
  • Run to the line you pass to
  • Quicker we move the ball the tougher the defense can recover
  • Receive the pass, one or two craddles, then make accurate pass
  • Variation: Use a long pole as a limbo GB, coach places ball, player drops their ball

Good drill to help the defense with their approaches to the ball.

  • Have defensive players pair up
  • Group 4 defensive players together
  • Have two outside players about 15-20 yards apart
  • Put a line of cones down the middle, each of the side guys are 5-10 yards from the cones
  • Put two defenders in the middle, one covers the man with the ball, the other with his foot on the line, but towards the other offensive guy
  • A man passes to the next, defense must adjust and give a lift check, The other defender runs to the mid line
  • After the lift check the defense stops engaging, player makes the pass, defense adjusts again
  • Far Defense guy keeps their stick up looking to intercept passes
