Hogan Pace of Practice Passing Drills
Goal is to get a ton of touches with a high amount of engagement in a short period of time
- Drill 1: Two man passing down field
- Drill 2: Four Corners - Over the shoulder passing (all right, all left, catch right throw left, catch left throw right)
- Goalies in the middle with balls
- 4 corners 15-20 lines out
- 2 balls, goalies follow the ball, if the ball gets dropped the goalie passes a new ball to the next guy in line
- Drill 3: 32 Cuse Shooting Drill
- 4 players in the drill, in the Cuse offense (32 dodger, fade, cutter, and low attack)
- Two balls, one starts at the 3 position the other at the 2 position
- 3 dodger, does a 32 curls back or pull passes to fade guy who shoots
- At the same time cutter receives a feed from the 2 attack and shoots
- Players rotate to the left with cutter going to low attack

Stacked Sliding Drill
Teaching kids defensive slide sets is important but difficult to implement in a game due to the chaos. An important principle for defenders to learn is how to slide and recover.
- 4 offensive players in the four corners
- Put a goalie in cage and put 3 defenders stacked in a straight lin in the middle of from the crease
- Assign a number 1,2,3 to each of the defenders or call out their names
- The offense should move the ball, keep spacing, and shoot only off a pass across the crease or skip pass
- The defense will have to come out and slide to the ball and recover. The coach calls a number 1,2,3 and the designated player with that number is the player who must make the slide and recover
- As the ball is passed, a coach calls another different number and the assigned player slides aggressively to the ball.
- The first defender recovers to the inside hole, stick to the inside and in the passing lane, with head up looking for the next dangerous guy

Stations: Faceoff and Time & Room Shooting / Defensive Approaches
Face Offs
Star Recovery Drill
- Interior cones mark out the “heart,” or most dangerous area of the field.
- Practice covering inside out and back again
- on-ball defenders have one responsibility: stop the ball carrier.
- Off-ball defenders need to worry about protecting the inside, keeping head on a swivel with assigned attacker, and be ready to cover open players should you need to slide
- Setup two sets of cones like in the diagram
- Kids start at the X's and approach and recover at each cone
- Exterior cones represent an offensive player preparing to dodge.
- Defender slides to cones on an angle, not a direct line.
- Stick should be up field when breaking down on the exterior cones.
- Stick should be to the inside (in passing lanes) at interior cones.
- Variation: Add offensive guys on the outside and one in the crease, pass the ball around, have the whole team defense approach and recover
