Back to Practice Plans

Time Drill
5 Min Active Stretching
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


15 min 4 on 4 - Add One Drill
  • Have 1 line of defenders, 1 line of offense at the top of the box
  • Corner of the box add another offensive line
  • Drill starts with a 4 on 4, we practice camel and 3 man
  • Coach Yell's add one and the 5th offensive guy comes in, defense must adjust to a zone
5 Min Water
15 Min Clear 2 on 1 from behind the net

This drill mimics a clear from the side behind GLE. We will have 9 total players. This helps a kid understand where to pass on the clear and how to deal with a doubleteam on the ride.

  • Defender on both side corners, two attack riding, Goalie in net
  • Riding attack should cover the guy with the ball and the goalie
  • 2 clearing middies and 2 riding middies, middies cut, defender runs up the sideline and passes
  • If the riding team gets the ball they have 1 chance to score
10 Min 4 on 4 Escalation
5 Min Water
30 Min 5 on 5 full field
  • Have middie lines run together and 1 attack and 1 defense on the same team
  • Substitute 3 off by middie line, or 3 attack, or 3 defense to keep kids playing with who they are next to the field
