Warm-up

Spend around 10 minutes warming up your team however you'd like (agilities, tag, ladders, octopus, etc.)

Can do stick and ball warm up too - shuttles, passing, sweeping, etc.

Reverse passing/receiving

Reverse passing and receiving

Set up a triangle of cones as a guide. Player 1 will make a forehand pass (emphasize accuracy!) to the the middle of the cones. Player 2 will receive on their backhand, pull the the ball across their body to forehand and make a pass back to player 1 who will receive on their backhand.

Receiving:

- uses cones as guides - stick outside the yellow cone (in front of your body), feet behind the red cones.

- let the ball come across your body as you receive the ball

- remind players about not changing grip (left always at the top, right at the bottom)

passing + leading

Player on ball passes to Player A who then passes to Player B. While that is happening, player who started the drill will loop around the far cone and receive the ball from B then takes a shot on net. Next person in line passes to the opposite side and performs the same lead on the other side.

***Focus on timing of lead, not too early not too late. Sharp distinct movements.

Shooting Drill

Set up 3 shooting stations with different skills. 3 players per stations. Finish all the balls at your station, then collect, then change stations.

Examples:

Player A: dribbles up to the yellow cone, backhand curl, dribbles up to the next yellow, forehand curl, shot

Player B: pull left, pull right, shot or lift over cones

Player C weaves through a line of cones with a shot on net.

Can also make it a competition after they've practiced the skill (e.g. each station gets 10 balls, count how many goals you score)

Scrimmage

U8-10 Same as the last couple weeks. Please split your team into two.

Coaches

- don't hesitate to stop the game, ask the players to spread out, and then resume

- once your team loses the ball, get your players to immediately back up, find a check or space, and get in their ready position

- when your team is attacking, encourage your team to find and attack the open goal.

U12

Do any sort of intersquad game (i.e. score by passing through gates or 4 goals or aussie drill). Up to you.
