Apache Ground Ball Drill

  • Goal of this drill is to help kids play in the un-settled situations
  • Add a goalie and 12 kids (6 kids per team)
  • Have the players run around the crease in opposite directions (the offensive team runs on the outside)
  • A coach rolls out a ball and calls an offensive players name, that player runs to get the ball
  • Two defenders chase him and double team
  • Two offensive guys quickly try to get into the adjacent passing lanes
  • Offense tries to get 2 passes before making a break to the goal
  • Defense if they gain position clear it
  • At any time a coach can yell "clear" and the goalie picks up a ball and runs a clear
