Set Up
You can do this on a shortened field for tighter passing (as shown) or on a full field. Put 2 goals on one end withbthe attack, 1 attacker at each goal. 2 Midfield lines in the middle center and 2 more lines on each center wing. There will be 2 goalies in net with the defenders on both sides. The drill stars with a ground ball for the middle center midfielders. They will get possessions and pass quick to the goalie on their side. The goalie will yell “break” and a defenders will break out to the low wing to receive a pass. They pass back to the midfielder who passed to the goalie. In transition, the midfielder will look upfield to their teammate on the sideline breaking upfield. They will carry and make a pass to the attacker for a shot on goal
