Pump & Go

Working with the two pass concept to get the ball to the weakside we incorporate a drill from Notre Dame Lacrosse

  • Have 4 lines, 1 at GLE on the left, 1 at left top of the box, 1 at center box, and one 10 yards up and out
  • Ball starts on the left GLE, man cuts up towards to alley. The person in position 2, runs towards the alley and receives a pass
  • The 3rd guy runs down the other alley and receives a pass
  • The 4th guy does a shallow clear and Pop back behind the ball
  • The 3rd guy gives a pump fake the shallow clear guy and then goes to goal down the alley and shoots
  • Players rotate to the line they passed to.



10 Min Stacked Clear one side passing drill
  • 3 Lines (2 in front of cage), 1 at X
  • 3 players breakout to one side, defender runs it up, other two stretch properly
10 Min Alley Dodge with Pull Pass and Shot
  • Explain a pull pass across your body, moves the ball 1-2 seconds quicker
  • 3 Lines up top
  • First guy Dodges down the alley, hit a cone then pull passes to the center guy
  • center guy moves it to the 3rd guy for the outside shot
  • New guy goes, run to the line you pass to
  • Switch Sides
  • Variation: do top and bottom at the same time



10 Min First Class Shooting Alley Dodge
  • Step in like you are going to take a shot, attack and beat the defenders
  • Catch the ball in the loaded position, stick to the outside and far out
  • Crow hop for 3 steps with stick to the inside
  • Drill 1: Hitch Dodge if defender gives you inside, gain to the middle of the field, with the back foot, after 3 steps, move top hand up to protect the poke
  • Drill 2: Face Dodge, if defender takes away the top side, face dodge across body, slide top hand up, punch stick through protect as defender is on back hip
  • Drill 3: Hitch and Split
  • Drill 4: Face Dodge to Rollback
20 Min Offensive
  • Orange --> Hawk Romeo --> Hawk Tango
  • Mikey
  • Deuce and Deuce Princeton (invert)
30 Min 6 v 6 with Missions
  • Coaches give up to 3 phases of missions to the players
  • Offense example: Phase 1: Run tango, phase 2: two man game at x with timed cutting, phase 3: hawk
  • Defense example: Phase 1: Amigo (3 man press), Phase 2: Long pole heavy on the ball, Phase 3: Double Early
  • Goal is to throw different looks at both the offense and defense to see how they react and execute
