Time	Drill
5 Min	Active Stretching
15 Min	Face Off guys
10 Min	Over the Shoulder Passing
10 Min	Team Defense Defenders with Coach Dave Talking First and Second slide, recover General Defense Rules Communication is a two way street, communication but also listen - say the command in 3’s. First time hear it, second time process it, third time execute it With a long stick, big big little little approach with ball pressure Good approach - stick out front (not on hip), take away the middle, break down Off ball reaction while defending, keep yourself in an athletic posture On the slide, look to scewer (poke check) and waist strike zone, don’t bring the stick up and then down Sticks up and get deflections
5 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
