3/19/2018 - Practice Plan

Time	Drill
5 Min	Active Stretching
10 Min	Two Man Passing Down Field
10 Min	Quick Hitch Bounce Shot Drill Need 2 Cones and 1 ladder or a Hector the Rejector covering the top 2/3rds of the goal Fold Ladder up so two or three rungs are showing and place 1 foot in front of the net Put cones 10 yards in front of cage and 10 yards to the side (in the alley) Line kids up at midline, get ground ball, sprint towards cone, studder step and hitch dodge keeping stick in the same hand As you get closer to the cage bounce shoot and try to get it inside the ladder rungs
5 Min	Water
15 Min	Revenge 1 on 1 Ride Drill Put a goalie in the cage Cone off a sideline and a restraining line Lineup defense and offense at the end line Defense grabs a ball and tries to run up field, must stay inside the lines When the defensive player hits the box line, drops the ball and it turns into a 1v1 Riding guy works on pushing him out or stalling him
5 Min	Water
10 Min	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
10 Min	Ultimate Lacrosse Think “ultimate frisbee” with lacrosse sticks-- players are only allowed to take three steps with the ball before they must pass. If they don’t pass within three seconds of stopping, they turn the ball over to the other team.
