Time	Drill
5 Min	Active Stretching Dave to bring goalie gear Bring dodgeballs
10 Min	Diamond Passing A great drill to help kids create space as an adjacent pass receiver. Use 8 guys per goal, so we can get alot of reps catching and throwing Setup 4 lines around the goal no more than 5 yards out (2 guys in each line) Line goes inside so the guys can v cut in then out Pass the ball around, but make sure each pass receiver is v cutting out to receive the pass 3 steps towards the goal, then 3 steps out catching on the outside Swing the ball around the goal Call out reverse to move the ball in the opposite direction Make sure kids are catching and throwing with their outside hands
5 Min	Water
10 Min	Y Cone Shooting on the Run Drill Set up cones in a Y shape 10-12 yards above GLE. The Y side goes near the goal. 1 line of midfields, high reps driving down the neck of the Y and dodging to a side to shoot on the run Attack the goal using both sides of the field, dodge on the cone, at the top Alternate sides for shots, dodge L/R, R/L Tips Split dodge, jump cut, hitch dodge Show the goalie your numbers for rotation Extend the hands out and away from you and then turn your shoulder Kyle DIxon is perfect for shooting on the run Accelerate through the shot Follow through (finish in a backpedal) Aim far pipes
5 Min	Water
15 Min	Drill - Common Clear 4v3 with goalie clear to unsettled situation 3v2 6 lines behind the goal (3 offense 3 defense) - 4v3 Two whistles, the first whistle is 3 riding players, the second is the defensive players (clearing) Defense gets a point for clear, offense gets a point for a goal Offense has to shoot in 3 passes Riding team gets high (3 guys), must play the ball & pressure it Defense starts with a GB, move the ball twice Guy that clears steps out and it turns into a 3v2 Offense creates an L instead of triangle Reward the offense if they score in 2 or less passes, they go again
5 Min	Water
10 Min	Stacked Sliding Drill Teaching kids defensive slide sets is important but difficult to implement in a game due to the chaos. An important principle for defenders to learn is how to slide and recover. 4 offensive players in the four corners Put a goalie in cage and put 3 defenders stacked in a straight lin in the middle of from the crease Assign a number 1,2,3 to each of the defenders or call out their names The offense should move the ball, keep spacing, and shoot only off a pass across the crease or skip pass The defense will have to come out and slide to the ball and recover. The coach calls a number 1,2,3 and the designated player with that number is the player who must make the slide and recover As the ball is passed, a coach calls another different number and the assigned player slides aggressively to the ball. The first defender recovers to the inside hole, stick to the inside and in the passing lane, with head up looking for the next dangerous guy
5 Min	Water
