10 Min	Notre Dame Whirlpool Passing Drill Notre Dame Whirlpool Drill Use as many goals as you can 6 Person Drill, form 3 lines, 2 at X, 2 at GLE about 10 yards away from the goal, and 2 at the top of the alley opposite the GLE guy The top Alley guy starts with the ball, does a corner dodge toward the goal and makes a pass to the guy at x The guy behind gives an outlet pass, presenting stick in the air hitting the guy on the run to the opposite side of the goal The GLE guy cuts down the center crease receives a pass from the X guy and then passes back to the Alley top line
10 Min	Fumble Ground Ball Drill This drill is a 2v2 that works on ball/man teamwork on ground balls, and helps offensive players to circle back or get to green space to make a quick pass to his teammate. Start with two lines of guys in two different colors Coach gently rolls out a ball and a 2v2 battle for the ball As a player gains possession of the ball he is immediately jumped and double teamed by the two opposite players This forces the ball carrier to run out of pressure through circling back or running to green space The player then looks to pass to his teammate
