Back to Practice Plans

Time Drill
5 Min Active Stretching
40 Min 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: Four Corners Drill
  • Drill 2: Buckeye Drill with Shooting


10 Min 5v4 Continuous Keep Away
  • Setup an area the size of GLE to box sized area, No goalie
  • 5 offensive, 4 defensive
  • Player throws a bad pass, once the defense gets it, they throw to the first person in their line, whoever turns it over leaves the drill
  • Keep the ball away
  • Variation: Defensive players can have 5 vs 4 offense (alot more space)
    • Sub out if you are one of the players that creates the turnover, then your team is 4 vs 5 (as they sub on a new guy)


30 Min 4-3 Clears
  • Defense work on Banana Cuts, R-Line, Wide Turn Away
    • Banana cut - two Defense low banana cut staying parallel to goalie outside restraining line, facing the goalie
    • R-Line - 3rd defender goes to a top of box, if he's covered, take him to the alley near mid line (away from box), if he's not covered sub for a middie who goes over the line (make sure a middie stays back)
    • Wide Turn Away - If the defender is doubled or in doubt, wide turn away and pass to the other side of the field
  • middies clearing will need to know flag, maverick, turn to the outside, pinch,
    • Flag motion 1-2 seconds straight then move towards the end lines
    • Maverick - middie cuts back to the end line and turn to the outside as its least likely to get doubled
    • Pinch - if the defensive player is running up the side, the middie clears through but staying onside (keeping the way clear)
  • always have 3 middies ready to sub. 1st one subs on for defensemen, and into the offensive half of field, 2nd stays on side, 3rd goes to offensive side
  • Deep - the two middies run deep and the goalie tries to hit them

10 Min Clears to half field slow break
  • goalie, 2 defenders, 3 middies huddle around goal, 3 attackmen (who jump on field after clear)
  • Goalie picks up a ball yells clear, 2 defenders banana cut, middies Flag at middle, left and right
  • Goalie picks a defender, to pass, defender throws to middle middie who is maverick and then to opposite side middie all diagonal.
  • middie who doesn't touch the ball gets the pass from the last middie, runs a slow break down the same side of field, passes to a flashing attack, who slow break it and pass back to the goalie for the next clear.
