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

3-2-1 X Rotate: Ball starts dead at X. X man calls "Miami-Miami", Rotates out to ally, sets, and calls the play again. X Man, and cutters looks for pick to be set, when pick is set, top middies cut in, X man's choice for pass. Option to follow and shoot.

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.

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.

Drill to encourage kids to keep spacing on the field using cones as markers. We will work the ball around the perimeter with LOTS of extra balls at each outside cone. If the ball is missed, pick up a new one and keep going. Keep a line at the top to rotate the next 3 into the crease.

Used to defend a 3-3. 5 defenseman all string from the man on the crease. Our SSDM is preferably in a low corner.

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

This is a drill I've used in previous seasons. It's a good ground ball drill.

Cowboy - Crease slide, furthest defender is second slide

This is a drill I've used in previous seasons. It's a good ground ball drill.

Pass across the field with defenders coming at you to get it down field and have a open shot on goal by offence to score.
