10 Min	Swing It - Passing Around the Goal This drill simulates ball movement around the goal to get kids used to a quick passing offense. Use 12 cones and setup, the cones will be placed in pairs Place the first cone in the pair down in the area you want kids to run your set The second cone should be 5 yards away heading towards the out of bounds Setup in a 2-3-1 or a 3-2-1, use only 6 kids at a time, best to keep lines with each other and attack rotating when necessary. Have kids work the ball around the goal, top middies popping out above the box line and adjacents popping out to help If having a crease guy have him constantly facing the ball with stick up Swing the ball around the goal, try not to skip pass Catch, Cradle once or twice, make a quick and accurate pass
10 Min	3v1 - 3v2 Shooting https://www.hoganlax.com/3v1-3v2-shooting Drill is useful for teaching midfield to shoot under pressure Starts as a 3v1 and can be changed to 3v2 to make the midfield read the field Setup Have a goalie, 1 line of defense to the side at GLE, 1 line of attack in the back, 2 lines of midfield up at midline Balls start at x, the attack makes a cut around the crease with the defense in front of the goal in ready position The attack picks a middie to pass to, defense slides and applies pressure (the attack is out of the play and so is the other middie) its just 1v1 Next, change it to 3v2, its the same setup except 2 defense and when the attack makes a pass the midfield work together. The first middie to receive the pass must read the defense and either shoot or pass.
