Time	Drill
5 Min	Active Stretching What we did wrong Offense was stagnent, and waited for everyone else to do something with the ball Clears our midfield and attack in general were standing still, need more movement More positive energy, guys need to pump eachother up Need to run plays to initiate movement North/SOuth East/West needs to be activated Can't play scared, scoop through the ground balls Accept getting hit, play on, playing with fear does nothing. Once you overcome the irrational fear, your life can truly begin Focus on the ball and be more aggressive, when you are passive or bracing for a hit, that's when you get hurt
10 Min	Star Drill with Shooting
10 Min	4 Man Ground Ball into a 3v3 This drill was invented by Paul Myers. The goal of the drill is to reward the player who wins the ground ball with the opportunity to play offense. Defensively, this drill helps players drop back to the hole quickly and to find a man to cover. Put a goalie in the net Have 4 lines of guys at equal distance around the box (one line in each corner) Have 2 additional lines of guys, one on each side of the box, in between the 4 guys fighting for the ball The coach rolls the ball out, the 4 lines battle for the ground ball. The winner of the ground ball must break out, protecting the stick and the 3 guys that lose are now on defense Upon possession, 1 guy from each of the middle lines runs out, and is on offense with the winner of the ground ball and the drill transitions into a 3v3
