DESCRIPTION:
This drill starts with the coach and the ball behind GLE. The goalie is set up in her cage, facing the ball. There are two attackers standing on the top of the crease. There is one defender on each side of the field where the GLE and 15m’ connect. There are two attackers standing on either side of the center circle. There is one defender standing at the center circle. The coach rolls the ball out to the side of the crease. The goalie has to go for the ground ball with the two attackers (that were on the crease) coming for the ball or the double. The goalie uses her two low defenders as outlets and they clear up the field to the high defender. The high defender immediately rolls a ground ball to either high attacker and it’s a live 4v3 to goal. Another option is that the attackers win the ball and it’s an immediate 2v2 to goal.
