To work on transition offense and defense with pressure.
Drill Description:
Start by dividing the team into 2 groups. Each group gets 10 balls (chances) to clear the ball down the field with the other team trying to cause a turnover. After a play is completed, all players jog back and the goalie puts the next ball in play on a whistle from the coach. After 10 balls, the other team has 10 chances to clear the ball. Stress your clearing pattern, defensive ride etc. Good hidden conditioning drill.
Variations
You can keep score, 1 point for a successful clear (to opposite restraining line). 1 point for a
caused turnover on the ride. 1 point for a goal scored off of a caused turnover.
