Ideas for Practice
- Clearing stations
- Ground Ball Drill
- Unsettled Defense picking up a man, put yourself between man and goal
- Reacting to Cutters, defense directing midfield
- Adjacent bump and cut drill
Goals are unsettled defense, proper cutting techniques, ground balls

Clearing Stations
- Split kids into these 3 groups: Attack, Middie, Defense
- Defense Group with 1 goalie
- Have 3 defense cluster in front of the goal
- Goalie with the ball yells clear, 2 defense go to the side at GLE, 1 goes top right
- Goalie passes to one at GLE, that D passes to the other GLE D, and then passes to the D near the mid line
- Rotate all Defense in
- Midfield Group with 1 goalie location at the midline
- Two midfield stand about 10 yards apart passing to each other
- Goalie yells clear and they pass to the goalie
- Both middies banana cut out and goalie passes to one. The other Middie takes off down field, banana cutting to receive a pass from the first Middie
- Attack Group
- 3 Attack take the field
- 2 attack stay near the midline and 1 attack is halfway to goal from the midline
- Coach passes the ball to one of the top attack, the attack closest to goal runs to X
- The other high attack takes off down the field looking for a pass. Takes the pass and either shoots or passes to the guy at X
- X attack goes around goal and looks for attack that made the pass driving to goal
- Original attack breaks to goal looking for a pass and goes to X, attack adjust to 2 GLE and 1 at x
