2v2 Continuous
Righties and lefties to their offensive sides of the court with players lined up about 15ft above house. 2 righties start on their side with 2 lefties defending. Ball should start low but can be started by coach pass. Play begins with righties on offence. Play ends when defense gets ball or a shot is made. Once play is complete, righties go to defense on other side against 2 new lefties on offense. Play happens in same manner with lefties on offence until play is dead then lefty offenders go to defense. Can be modified where righties play and extra turn at defense against righties on offense if lefty numbers are low. Focus should be on quick ball movement inside a tight space inside house. Ensure offense stays on their strong side. Ideal if ball starts low or is passed from high to low position. high offender comes down to set pick on low defense and rolls towards net. Ball carrier swings top and looks for pass through defense to find teammate. If pick fails, encourage players to reset

Bears drill

X2 uses pick and cuts top, passes to X1 for a shot. **Run this with 2 lines at both ends** Evolution: have 2 lines out and a third line on the bench. When X2 passes center, X3 exits front doors and runs in, X2 passes to X3 for a shot. ***Second evolution: coach is in corner and passes to X1 for another shot at goal. Goalie is saving from both sides of court. Coach waits until X3 has released their shot. Goalies need to pay attention.
