Variation #2 (10 min):  "Off-Ball Up-Pick."  Starting with a swing pass from shooter to shooter, the crease player on the side that started with a ball does an up-pick as soon as they recognize that the shooter is making the swing pass.

The shooter who receives the pass acts like a threat and once the up pick is set, passes to either the player coming over top of the pick (east-west) or to the roller (who takes the outside lane to the net); the passer may also pass to the same-side crease player who subsequently becomes the "feeder."

The player who receives the pass takes a quality shot (Variation #2A), or makes a series of passes and cuts for more advanced players (Variation #2B).

Switch balls to starting at the opposite-side shooter position once players have had sufficient reps both up high and down low.

Variation #3 (10 min):  "Mix It Up."  Same as above except each time through the drill the coach calls out a different combination of cycles, picks and seals, for each pairing, both off-ball and on-ball; mix it up each rep through the drill (Variation #3A), otherwise allow the players to adlib and perform spontaneous combinations (without talking), doing their best to maintain proper timing and spacing (Variation #3B).

Variation #4 (10 min):  "Mix Release Points."  Same as the above variations except coaches instruct players to take a certain type of shot:  overhand, side-arm, underhand, cripplers or bounce shots.

Variation #5 (10 min): "Pressure." Another variation of the above drills would be for coaches (or volunteer defenders) to apply varying amounts of pressure to the players who are trying to execute on offense.  If players are being utilized to apply pressure, they should first play offense at the shooter positions, then play defense, then move to the crease lines.

Variation #6 (10 min):  "Game To 7."  To add competition, play a game of lefty’s versus righty’s up to 7 goals (switching which side the ball starts on each rep), with the losing team does 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.

Variation #7 (10 min):  "No Drops/No Misses Game."  For every ball that is dropped and/or misses the net during the drill players will have to sprint from one side-board (or end-board) to the other.  For every goal that is scored, one sprint is removed from the total, with goalies having to run if the players keep their sprint total at or below zero.

Variation #8 (10 min):  "No Look Passes."  Same as the above variations except have players practice "no look" passing, where they pass to the intended player while looking at the goalie or another player.
