Clearing Relay
Players line up in all four corners of the box with goalies at both sides in between the lines . At the same time, players to the left of each goalie sprint upfield and receive an outlet pass from the goalie over the shoulder and sprint through the other side and get in line. Drill moves continuously with goalies throwing back and forth. Emphasize catching on the run, crisp outlet passes, quick ball movement, and catching over the shoulder..
Spoke Drill
Set up six cones in a semi-circle representing top center, top left, and top right areas. Start at the middle cone and rotate clockwise, designating each cone as an offensive player. Defensive players work on breaking down with short, choppy steps, keeping their stick out to take away top side, forcing attackers to the low alley. Focus on recovery to the inside and maintaining positioning. Repeat counterclockwise for full coverage and consistency. Next player goes when player hits second cone.
3v2 Sideways
Set up cones to define each team’s half of the field. Place three offensive players (Player 1–3) vs. two defenders (Player 4–5). On the whistle, offense moves the ball within boundaries, looking for high-percentage shots; defenders communicate, stay tight, and force turnovers. Can start with ground balls, adjust players, or shift boundaries for progression.
3-Man Ground Ball Drill
Set three players: Player 1, Player 2, and Player 3. Player 1 rolls a ball to Player 2, who scoops it cleanly. Player 2 immediately passes to Player 3, who looks to quickly move the ball back to Player 1 for a shot on goal. Emphasize proper ground ball technique and creating space. Rotate players to keep everyone active.
Rapid Fire Corners
Set two lines at goal line extended with balls at both spots. Line 1 drives upfield, rolls off pressure, and feeds Line 2 cutting off the mirror side. Line 2 catches in stride and shoots on the run. After each rep, rotate sides quickly to keep pace. Focus on timing cuts, quick ball movement, and finishing with both hands under pressure.

Meatloaf Passing Drill
Setup: Six lines in two columns of three, roughly 15–20 yards apart. Ball starts with the bottom-left line. The ball works diagonally up the grid. Bottom-left to bottom-right, bottom-right up to middle-left, middle-left across to middle-right, and so on until it reaches the top-right line. Every player follows their pass and joins the back of the line they threw to. Once the ball reaches the top, restart from the bottom, or run it back down the ladder in reverse so players get reps throwing to both sides.
2mans from both sides
- setup with cones down the middle, and a 2v2 on each side - one side will start in a 2v2, the other side is flash-cutting - offense has to stay on their side of the cones, but defense does not (can slide/crash) - Offense: must work the 2 man. Should keep their head up for the cuts on backside, but 2 man is option 1 - Defense: work on defending a 2 man (bookending), marking cutters, and sliding/crashing
Zig Zag to live play
