Draw and Dump Drill
Source:
US Lacrosse
A great drill to work on the draw and dump around the crease. Draw two players to ball and throw a dump
pass to the open player cutting through the middle.
Drill Description:
- Begin with 2 attackers, 1 attacker set up behind the cage and the other attacker on the elbow of
the 8-meter. Have defenders guarding both attackers.
- The attacker behind the cage challenges hard to goal hopefully drawing her defender, AND the defender guarding the other attacker.
- As both defenders are drawn to 1 attacker, it leaves the other attacker open, cutting through the
middle for a feed and shot on goal.
- Make sure to clarify that defenders do not always need to slide. If it is necessary they should help, if not then they should stay and play good defense
Variations
You can have your players do this drill from both sides, first undefended then add a defender.
When you add a defender they could be without sticks, and then build to defenders with sticks so
attackers can figure out passing lanes.
