Set Up
put 2 goalies around the cage, or coaches. There will be a line of defensive players on each side of the goalie, and then we are add a midfield line at each wing of the midfield. 2 Attackmen will be down at the far end, with a 3rd player/attackman with balls in the low corner. The drill starts with the goalie/coach calling “Break”. One defensive line will break to the sideline for an East West pass from goalie 1. The other midfield line will be breaking up to the low restraining box, and goalie 2 will make an upfield pass to them. Both players will make a pass to their adjacent attackmen, and then will cut diagonally to receive a pass from the opposite attackmen. The player with balls, will give a 3rd pass, to one of the attackers for a shot.
