Goalie Warm up

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..
W Clearing Warm up
Working on clears, defense getting stopped, then moving back through the goalie to reverse the field. Setup: two lines of defenders behind goal, two defenders are in at a time. \ \ When goalie yells clear, both defenders cut up and out asking for the pass. \ Goalie passes to either side, that player runs up to the cones and has to turn back as if that were an attacker on the ride. At this point, goalie has walked up past the 8m and now is there to help reverse the field and receive the pass to then send to the other player on the other side. That player then runs through their cones. Coaching Points: Turn before the "attack" reaches you. (can add two dummy attackers for effect). Reminder, if we see two attackers closing in, we reverse the field. Make sure we are protecting our sticks as we turn to reverse the field. \ \ Adjustments: Have dummy attackers follow at 70-80% after hitting the cone.
