Use 8 guys per goal, so we can get alot of reps catching and throwing Setup 4 lines around the goal no more than 5 yards out (2 guys in each line) Line goes inside so the guys can v cut in then out Pass the ball around, but make sure each pass receiver is v cutting out to receive the pass 3 steps towards the goal, then 3 steps out catching on the outside Swing the ball around the goal Call out reverse to move the ball in the opposite direction Make sure kids are catching and throwing with their outside hands

5 Min	Water
10 Min	Crunch 3v2 This drill is used to shorten the field and have players play in a condensed field, helping kids move the ball more effectively with quicker passes. When players play on a larger field everything opens up. Use Cones to section off the field from GLE to inside of the box Have 3 lines of offense, and 2 lines of defense, and a goalie in the cage Defenders stand out ready to play and we play 3 on 2 Offensive players must look for quick passes, if the ball goes outside the cones the next players go
5 Min	Water
20 Min	Stacked Sliding Drill Teaching kids defensive slide sets is important but difficult to implement in a game due to the chaos. An important principle for defenders to learn is how to slide and recover. 4 offensive players in the four corners Put a goalie in cage and put 3 defenders stacked in a straight lin in the middle of from the crease Assign a number 1,2,3 to each of the defenders or call out their names The offense should move the ball, keep spacing, and shoot only off a pass across the crease or skip pass The defense will have to come out and slide to the ball and recover. The coach calls a number 1,2,3 and the designated player with that number is the player who must make the slide and recover As the ball is passed, a coach calls another different number and the assigned player slides aggressively to the ball. The first defender recovers to the inside hole, stick to the inside and in the passing lane, with head up looking for the next dangerous guy
