6/20/2020 - Practice Plan

Time	Drill
5 Min	Active Stretching Dave to bring goalie gear Bring dodgeballs
5 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
10 Min	Drill - 3 Man Passing Catch, Turn and pass (no running) Set pick, then roll for a pass Figure 8 - Run towards a guy, catch on the run, switch hands while turning and pass to the next guy. GB to pass - GB towards, pick it up, turn pass to the other guy, repeat Over the shoulder figure 8 passing
5 Min	Water
10 Min	Question Mark Ground Ball Have the kids form a line Roll the ball out away from the line Have the kids call ball and release Upon scooping up the ball, the kids run in a question mark pattern to avoid the trailing stick Coach should use the term "Run to Daylight" Throw the ball back to coach and repeat
5 Min	Water
20 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
