Warm-Up Drill #11: Bellies "Pick & Roll" Warm-Up

Variation #1A (7 min): 3 mins step-down 3 mins shot on the run "Roll To The Net." The first player in both lines has no ball and, on their turn, runs over to the opposite-side line and sets an imaginary pick. As this happens, the second player from the same line as the first player passes a ball to the first player, as they roll to the net off of their pick for a shot. The first player from the opposite line then takes their turn, alternating from side to side each time through the drill.

Goaltending Drill #3B: Goalie Mid-Range Pass

Variation #1 (5 min): "Relief Pass." The drill starts with a player from the line at the mid-boards, in both ends (at the same time), running to the middle of the defensive zone and rolling a ball into the goalie (or coach if there's only one goalie), then running hard to the defensive door in the close-end ("short change"). A same-handed player then comes off the bench out of the offensive door close to the rag line/centre-floor, with the goalie making the pass to this player anticipating and timing the pass (“leading” them). Variation #2 (5 min): "Window Washer Variation." Same as the variation above except a coach or volunteer player stands in the middle of the passing lane ("window washing") at various distances including on top of the goal crease, in both ends of the floor. This forces the goalie and the receiver of the pass to adapt.

Transition Drill #3C: 2 Player Out & Ups (Emergency Outlet)

Variation #1 (7 min): "Emergency Outlet." The player from the bench-side line steps into the middle, with the player on the far-side stepping in at the crease position. The crease defender rolls or bounces the ball into the goalie and then runs (or backpedals) to the mid boards, while the bench-side defender runs hard toward the bench, with both players eventually "button hooking" back to the ball and the bench-side player receiving a pass from the goalie. This player then passes the ball to the player on the far-side who runs to the net on a breakaway or imaginary 2-on-1 (Variation #1A). Otherwise the far-side player runs it deep to the mid-boards in the far-end, with the original passer (bench-side) acting as a trailer coming late into the play and receiving a pass for a shot (Variation #1B).

Transition Drill #3D: 2 Player Out & Ups ("Slow-Break")

Variation #1 (7 min): "Goalie Max Support." The first player in line steps out to the shooter position and the second player to the crease position. The low defender rolls or bounces the ball into the goalie and then runs (or backpedals) to the mid boards, while the high defender runs hard along the boards toward the other end of the floor (not leaving the defensive zone until the goalie has control of the ball). The high defender stops short of the rag-line and button hooks back toward the mid-boards, while the low defender also button hooks from the mid-boards back toward GLE. The low defender then cuts across the top of the crease (as shown as diagram) and receives a flip pass from the goalie (Variation #1A), who steps outside of the crease after 4 seconds. The high defender proceeds to run ahead of the play and into the outside lane. This player continues in the outside lane and as the ball carrier approaches the prime scoring area they make a dump pass to the player in the outside lane, who simultaneously cuts toward the net on a 45° angle receiving a pass and finishing in tight.

Transition Drill #11B: Continuous 3-On-2's (With A Chaser)

First to 5 (Blue vs White) Begin with a 3 players at centre-floor (on their proper floor sides) with 2 players in the defensive zone in an “I” formation ready to fall back against a 3-on-2 odd-player opportunity. Play starts once the ball-carrier runs past the chosen bench-door, at which point a “chaser” then comes off and tries to bring the 3-on-2 back to even strength. If the chaser is successful, players are allowed to play 3 vs. 3 until the coach blows the whistle (5 seconds max). Once a shot is taken or there is a turnover, either the players who were on defense or the chaser picks up the loose ball, otherwise receives a pass from a coach (or goalie) and they all run the length of the floor on 3-on-2 in the other direction (2 defenders comes off of the opposite bench early; then the chaser). All players should run hard to the bench.

Settled 5-on-5 to 3-on-2

The drill begins with a settled 5v5 set After the set, defensive players will break out, with two offensive players remaining to "press". The defenders will then break down the subsequent 3v2 for a quality shot attempt.

Defense Drill #12B: Continuous On-Ball 2 Vs. 2

Team White vs Team Blue Start with an offensive and defensive player stationed at the crease position and shooter position (or mid-boards), on the bench-side (Variation #1 - 7 min) or far-side of the floor (Variation #2 - 7 min). All other offensive players are on their respective benches, with extra defenders standing near the benches at centre-floor (if playing the Offense-Defense transition system), or all players coming off the bench and offensive players becoming the defensive players the next time through the drill (if playing the Two-Way transition system). Players should be permitted a maximum of 10 seconds to try and create a quality shot on offense, otherwise the coach blows the whistle and they most drop the ball if they still have it. When the defenders pick it up, the offensive players should ride them to try and force a quick turnover (giving them another 10 seconds), otherwise allowing the defenders to breakout along the far-side. These two defenders run the ball deep ("in two's"), then pass the ball to one of the two offensive players that come off the bench in the far-end. These defenders then perform a 90 degree change and sprint back into the defensive lines.

Offense Drill #3B: Off-Ball Cycle & "Support"

OFFENSE (5 mins) Variation #2 (5 min): "Drag & Support." Bottom Diagram The shooter on the side of the floor with balls starts the drill by dragging from the shooter position to the somewhere near the mid-boards. At the same time the opposite-side shooter supports the ball by filling up to the point position (shortening up the pass), at which point they receive a pass from the ball carrier at the mid-boards; crease players play the "L" during this time. The player now at the point position then drags back to the shooter position, while the off-ball shooter fills near the point position. The shooter with the ball subsequently passes to the "support player" or either crease player, with advanced players freelancing for a few passes and taking a quality shot (at the coaches discretion).

5-On-5 Play #1 ("Delay") & Play #2A ("Isolation")

OFFENSE (Bottom Diagram) -Webby -Chase -Bissett -Drew 2A. Isolation-Play ("Iso") An "iso" is an attempt to isolate a team's best offensive player (playmaker), against a mediocre defender. For this play, four offensive players “overload” one side of the floor, leaving one player on the opposite side with plenty of space to try a one-on-one move towards the net. The weak-side starts with an empty crease set-up and all other players starting spread. The high offensive player passes to the low player at the mid-board (as shown in diagram), or crease position (not shown in diagram), fakes a cut to the net for a give-and-go, but instead sets a cross pick on the far-side high defender. While this is happening the low offensive player attempts to beat their check 1-on-1 (Option #1). If they are unable to generate a quality shot, the second option is to pass to the far-side high player coming overtop of the pick (Option #2), or any other players who attack the net on the back-side of the play after the 1-on-1 attempt.

Defense Drill #11: "Communicate" The Pick & React

DEFENSE (15 mins) Variation #1 (7 min): "Down-Pick." Have either lefty's or righty's start on defense, with the offensive player in the middle running down to the crease (other offender with a ball) and attempting a pick and roll to the net. The defender checking the picker must "communicate" that a pick is coming and what side it is coming on ("left," "right" or "back"), with the defender being picked clamping and switching checks with the other defender (otherwise opening up and "staying" if playing the Pressure Down Defense). The offenders then have 5 seconds max to re-pick and try to get a quality shot, otherwise the coach blows the whistle and the other side takes their turn. Variation #2 (7 min): "Up-Pick." Same as above except the crease players move up to the shooter position and the offensive player runs "up" for the pick instead of "down."

Defense Drill #9A: "Get On Hands" Drill

DEFENSE (7 mins) Bottom Diagram Variation #2 (7 min): "Off-Ball." Same as the above variations except the defender starts in an open stance and coaches have balls (or players can rotate to "passer" after playing defense) and feed passes to the offender after they engage and push off creating separation. The offensive player should then either quick stick the pass, catch it and take a screen shot, or dodge the defender and go 1 vs. 1 to the net.
