INTERMEDIATE 

• Start with players lined up in both corners (near the crease position), on their proper floor side, in one or both ends of the floor (depending on numbers).  Coaches should station pylons just above the shooter positions on both sides of the floor, and be prepared with balls just above the point position. 

• Variation #1 (10 min):  "Loose Ball."  On the coaches whistle players must run up around the pylon on their side of the floor, with coaches rolling a ball into the middle and players chasing the loose ball; finishing with a shot on net if they get it (5 seconds max).  Players should exit the drill alongside the boards and play the coaches whistle for drill termination, where required.

• Variation #2 (10 min):  "1 Vs. 1."  Same as the variation above except one side starts with the balls (switch halfway through) and rolls the ball to the far-side line as they are approaching their pylon.  The player in the other line goes around their pylon, picks up the loose ball, then attacks the net one-on-one in the open floor (partial breakaway). 

• Variation #3 (10 min):  "2-On-1 - Loose Ball."  Same as the variation above except one line sends two players, with the first player having the ball and playing defense against a 2-on-1 after they roll it to the player on the far-side.
