15 Min - Warmup Keep Away

- 3 defenders and 4 offense
- 2 lines defenders on one side of GLE, 1 on the other. 3 lines of attack behind the goal, 1 line at the midline
- The drill begins with a ground ball or a pass, and we play 3v3 for 5 to 10 seconds. Then the coach might yell out, "add one," and the fourth offensive player enters the drill, usually from the back of the defenders.
- We play to a shot. On a shot or save, we immediately clear and then begin the drill again with new players.
- Alternative is to run from the top by switching the placement of the lines.
10 Min - Face Off Techniques
