This Drill Highlights:

  • Clearing Options

Description:

This drill can be set up from both sides of the field with two groups running it at once. Set up four defenders on GLE. The goalie starts with the ball and clears to X1 after she v-cuts. X1 hits X3 as she is running up field. X3 hits X2 in the midfield. Note that this can be organic. Whoever the goalie clears to is at liberty to pass to whom they want. The key is to make sure the girls are spaced out and in their lanes.
