15 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
10 Min	Trigger Shooting Drill Create 4 lines of players at top of the box and GLE on both sides Have balls start at the top then switch to below Players work on each side of the field and stagger from side to side Player 1 passes to player 2, simulating a middie to attack pass Player 1 cuts to the goal and receives a pass from player 2 and shoots
