Each rep will include the groundball, 2 passes to the off-ball players and a shot to finish.

Aggressive ride designed to force turnovers in the middles of the field and create quick possessions at the end of the game.

TERMINOLOGY-
DOG: Close defender stepping over the midline

HAWK: LSM coming out of the sub box watching over the middle of the field

TURN: Force the clearing team to roll back to the middle of the field (where the hawk and dog are)

JUMP: Send a second defender on ball to double

BACK: The ball has flipped sides of the field and we need you onside

NAVY: Attackman coming off the field to substitute an SSDM through the midline

RULES FOR THE RAIL RIDE
Attackman cannot get beat 1v1 without turning their guy backFar attackman move towards midline to cover the up and over passDog who comes over the midline is the quarterback of the rideMiddies must lock players and keep their guy in front of themFar side middie must get back onsides to "release" the dogTwo back defensemen play zone on their three attackman, covering the two closest to the ballIf the play gets past attack you must chase ball from outside in to force a turnIf the ball gets cleared on one side other side must drop into the house to prevent odd man scenariosIf a shorty starts with the ball, we double and leave the goalie openKeep in mind:
Our goal is to their D to make the overpass (toughest pass to make)We want to turn their D back to the center of the field where the hawk and dog areAllow the Dog to jump and double the ballSwarm (double/triple) the ball at the midline

This is a full field clearing drill that works on outlets from Goalies, rollbacks when "pressured" from above, across field redirects, pushing upfield with a guy in front "Headman guy", finding the wing attackman after the clear, and pushing through X. It also helps one Goalie work on long pass clears from behind the goal/GLE to a breaking out player.

Players rotate to the line they threw too (except goalie line).

Players get to work on both hands catching and throwing.

Motion Offense initiated from the top center middie

Primary Formation: 1-4-1 (One top, four across the middle, one behind).

Phase 1: The Setup
Alignment: The four middle players form a horizontal line across the field.Personnel: This formation places a heavy concentration of players in the "belly" of the defense to create a screen-heavy environment.Phase 2: The Initiation (The "Slam")
The Trigger: The top player initiates a dodge directly toward the goal.The Physical Action: As the dodger moves, the middle players "slam" into their defenders.The Interaction: These middle players may also set picks for each other, creating a chaotic "Belly" of movement that is difficult for defenders to track.Phase 3: The Goal
The Opening: The slamming/screening action typically results in a wide-open cutter breaking right in front of the crease.The Scoring Chance: The goal is to use physical positioning and screens to create a high-percentage interior scoring chance.

Shooting drill that simulates the actions of pass-down, pick-down 2-man game. Start with a line with the balls located top-center-right and another line on the right wing. Mirror this setup on the left side. The top line will pass down to the wing, get depth and return to set a screen. Meanwhile, the wing man will ‘drift’ to get into a good dodging location to work from the screen. In the UNDER variation, the dodger works under the pick and finishes with a shot down the alley.
