Matchups and Initiators
- Princeton and Deuce help us get matchups

Crossfire Passing
A good drill to reinforce two passes and 2 man game
- Create a square about 15 yards by 15 yards
- Have 4 kids per team for a total of 8 players
- For each team, put 2 guys on the outside and 2 guys in the inside
- The outside guys are on opposite sides of the square and cannot go inside the square
- The inside guys are free to roam in the middle area
- Start with the ball on the outside, make a pass or two into the middle and then to the other side
- If through the middle and out the other side, you gain one point
- If the ball is loose in the middle players fight for the ball
- If the ball rolls out, it starts with the team on the line where the ball goes out
- Try to string together multiple points
