Variation #2 (20 min): "Dummy Defenders." The drill commences on one side of the floor with the crease and shooter first engaging their defenders then popping out, “flashing their stick,” prepared to receive a pass from the point player (or a coach can pass the ball into the drill). 3 defenders should be playing man-to-man contain defense (eventually advancing to 100% effort), with 3 offenders either freelancing or communicating a set-play (See 5-on-5 Set Plays) in advance of entering (or during) the drill.

Players should cycle through each floor position a few times, until they score or until the coach blows their whistle. At this point the offenders run to the other side of the floor and play defense against 3 new offensive players, with the former defenders exiting the drill ("on the hop").

Variation #3 (20 min):  "Game To 7."  To add competition, play a game of lefty’s versus righty’s up to 7 goals (lefty's playing defense against the righty's and vice versa), with the losing team doing push-ups, sit-ups, planks, body weight squats, sprints, etc.  Furthermore, coaches can make it so 2 goals can be tallied on "bounce shots" if they feel like that particular skill is worthy of emphasis.
