https://www.hoganlax.com/3v1-3v2-shooting

  • Drill is useful for teaching midfield to shoot under pressure
  • Starts as a 3v1 and can be changed to 3v2 to make the midfield read the field

Setup

  • Have a goalie, 1 line of defense to the side at GLE, 1 line of attack in the back, 2 lines of midfield up at midline
  • Balls start at x, the attack makes a cut around the crease with the defense in front of the goal in ready position
  • The attack picks a middie to pass to, defense slides and applies pressure (the attack is out of the play and so is the other middie) its just 1v1
  • Next, change it to 3v2, its the same setup except 2 defense and when the attack makes a pass the midfield work together. The first middie to receive the pass must read the defense and either shoot or pass.


10 Min 1 v 1 top and bottom
  • Requires a Goalie
10 Min Unsettled Fast Breaks
  • Requires a Goalie
  • Two lines of kids, call offensive number and defensive number
  • 21, 32, 43, 54, 65, etc
10 Min 3v2 to 4v3
  • Setup 3 lines of dark and 2 lines of white behind the cage
  • Out of bounds up top is the box line
  • Coach throws a ball to the dark line
  • Defense and Offense play 3v2
    • Offense sets up in a triangle with a guy at x
  • Once a shot, turnover or goal happens, coach passes the ball to one of the two white players behind
  • Then the 3 dark players are on defense and the 4 white players are on offense
    • Offense sets up in a box



7 Min 3 v 3
20 Min 5 v 5 or 10 v 10 Scrimmage
  1. Every player interested in facing off gets a chance to do multiple face-offs.
  2. The teams must be even, so if it is lopsided, switch some players from each team.
  3. Attack and defenders need to be mixed, not just with the same partners.
  4. Feature a lot of rides, clears, and face offs.
