10/08/2017 - Practice Plan

Time	Drill
5 Min	Active Stretching Paul to stay and play goalie
30 Min	Face Off Clinic with Jake Mullins
5 Min	Water
15 Min	Face Off into a 4v4 or 5v4 The goal with this drill is to get a lot of reps from faceoffs and wing play Make this drill competitive and keep score Divide your kids equally into different colors, with attack, middies, and defense spread across both teams Move your goals in for a shorter field and put 2 goalies in cage Have 1 defense man and 1 attack man at each end of the field Have 3 midfielders from each team at the midfield line Do a faceoff whoever gains position takes the ball down and tries to score, if they don't score the opposite team has one chance to clear it. If after the clear there is no goal, then we re-face off A variation is to add two attack per team so after the faceoff it turns into a 5v4 instead of 4v4

10 Min	Mule Drill http://www.laxcoachmike.com/fullmembers/2015/08/article-the-mule-drill-pfeiffer/ This is a 4v4 drill which incorporates GB, 4v4, and Lock Off Drill Put a goalie in cage Divide kids evenly into two different colors Place 1 of each color at the 4 corners Roll a ball and a 1v1 GB happens, whoever wins the GB is on offense The 3 off ball defense "lock on" their man. This forces the 3 other offensive players to work hard at getting open Each of the 4 offensive players must touch the ball before going to cage Offense must look to set picks and work together to get open Make it competitive, offense gets 2 points for scoring, defense gets 1 for stopping play
