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.

Make it all the way around and then shoot it from the bottom half while #2 is running across the field

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

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.

Out of 3-3…and exchange from the low corner…pass up top with a fake flip. Mid continues thru the center for a shot or a wall pass.

Simple umbrella set with offense initiated at X. Dodger and crease man mirror each other to stretch hot slide.

Whole team stickwork drill, great for early in a practice session. Set-up 5 lines of players. Passes will skip a line. Passer follows their pass. For more intensity, add more balls to the drill.

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

2 man gb game. man behind guy rolls ball out, both run out. First guy scoops up ground ball and second guy peels off to be outlet for First guy.
