Waterfall Drill
Source:
US Lacrosse
Work on short and long passes on the run. Includes some conditioning work and includes goalies too!
Drill Description:
* Players form two lines. One has the balls.
* A player from each line runs up the middle of the field while passing ball back and forth.
* When they get to the end, they fan out to the sideline and run back while making long cross field passes.
* Adjust distance for your players but make sure they stay wide and don't creep close in.
* You can start the next group when the ones in front get to the restraining line.
Variations
You can make the players do defensive sliding while doing the short passes up the field. Have them get low and balanced and do quick sticks up the field facing each other. Do regular long passes back down the field.
Invert the waterfall - start with long passes and do short passes on the way back and end with a shot. Goalies can then clear the ball to the outside line.
Challenge players to complete a certain number of passes.
