Double Mumbo is out of a 1-4-1 set that is a play designed to give your best shooters a step-down shot from 8-10 yards. It also works well for extra-man offense.

This clear is designed with simplicity in mind. This clear is based on clearing the ball opposite the box with Defensive middies as the primary ball carriers & the LSM as a secondary option.

Attack from wings with cutters behind. Crease cuts from inverted offense

Simple warm-up drill to work groundballs, passing and shooting. Start with 3 players on the crease, on the whistle, coach rolls out the ball, 3 players communicate who has the groundball, while the 2 other players get space. Each rep will include the groundball, 2 passes to the off-ball players and a shot to finish.

Simulating transition or sliding help defense. Defender has to approach ball carried in a controlled manner to keep them from scoring (push below GLE). Offense has a lane to go to goal but needs to evade the defender to shoot.

Basic defensive slide rotation against a 2-3-1 offensive set. This play features a dodge from up top, with a crease slide and a backside fill directing the recovery.

This is to work on high side wing dodge. The off ball players need to work on keeping their body open to the ball and stepping down towards the goal. The pick player need to turn towards the ball carried. Though not the look for this drill, the double team on the 2 man will give a quick outlet for a step down shot.

This is a drill I've done in previous seasons. It's a good uneven drill.

Basically, there are two triangle formations. One between the midfielders (two on top, one on crease) and one between the attack (two at GLE and one at X). These two triangle formations work together in harmony. If one of the two midfielders on the top pass it down to an attackmen, then that midfielder that passed the ball will sprint to crease while yelling the motion word, FISH. When the midfielders hear this motion call, its a fill triangle rotation. The crease mid will sprint out of the crease and go to the top, while the top mid (the one that did not pass the ball) will sprint across the top and fill in where the other mid was at. 

While this is happening, the attack that caught the ball is looking to feed the ball to the mid cutting to crease. If that first look isn't there, then the second look is the mid cutting across the top (the mid that is filling in). If the second look isnt there, then the attack will pass it down to X. The X attack will then pass it to the other attackmen (the attack that did not pass the ball). The attack that has the ball will pass it to the midfielder at the top, as he passes the ball, he will yell the motion word, FISH.

When the attack hear this word, they essentially are doing the same motion as the midfielder triangle. The attack that passes the ball is cutting through the crease. This is the initial first, quick look. If no defender follows and lets the attack run free, then the mid w/ ball can pass and the attack will quick stick shot. If the attack is defended, then the second look is the X attack that is coming around to fill in for a hitch dodge and shot.

If neither look is there, then the offense can start the motion over and have the motion run the same direction or switch the direction of the motion.

Clear from an unsettled situation. 2 poles cross. Sub through through mid.

Key concepts:
1. Align 3 across the back (2 Defense, 1 goalie)
2. Clear opposite the substitution box.
3. Clear all the way through 'X'

Keeping it wide.
Simple movement patterns.
Confidence carrying the ball.
Communication.
