Target Practice Face Off
Practice winning faceoffs and directing the ball to specific locations on the field. Set up at the center X. One player at a time gets set with a ball. Before the whistle, the coach drops a cone somewhere in the midfield area. On the whistle, the player wins the draw and forces the ball toward that cone. Next player steps up, cone moves, and repeat. Variation: Use different faceoff moves. Have two players face off against each other with different colored cones as targets.
Skip Stopper
3-person drill: two offensive players positioned 10-15 yards apart on perimeter with limited movement space (3-4 yards each). One defender in middle attempts to disrupt skip passes between them. Offensive players can carry, look away, throw across body. Defender must pivot, maintain athletic stance, create ball-you-man triangle, get stick in lane. Continue 6-10 passes or until 3 interceptions/deflections, then rotate positions.
Beat Drill
Start 4v4 in the attack zone. Player 1 dodges from the top corner vs. Player 4 (defender trailing, already beat). Player 5 slides automatically to cover the throwback, while Player 6 (backside helper) supports as a second defender. After the first pass, on-ball defender recovers to the crease; dodger hits throwback, then passes to backside. Backside defender (Player 6) steps out for a quick 1v1. Add Player 7 at X and Player 8 on backside to progress.
