- Set up four lines, 1) Offensive Middies at at corner of box facing far goal. 2) Defensive Middies at restraining line in middle of field. 3) Attack at corner of opposite restraining box. 4) Defense at goal line extended on opposite side of field from attack. One cone in middle of field halfway between box and midfield on same side of field as Attack and D. Extra balls near Def line.
- OM starts with ball and runs down field, DM begins to chase.
- When OM feels pressure he feeds Attack.
- Attack goes to net for shot, as Def plays him 1 on 1.
- After the pass from the OM, the DM circles cone and heads back up field (towards where he came from) and gets ready for a pass. The OM heads to midfield (gets ready to play D).
- After Attack shot: If goalie makes save, he is to feed Def for a clear. If goal is scored, Def retrieves ball from side of net and heads up field.
- Def. feeds original DM for clear.
- Original DM now goes in 1 on 1 vs original OM.
- Attack and Def return to their lines. Middies switch lines.

What to do with all this rain
With all the rain this week, I doubt we will have any time on the field. I planned one scrimmage and one practice for the week, but it doesn't look good. So instead of having to take the time to plan for these things, I decided to use the time to brainstorm some new drills. I came up with two versions of the same drill. I'm sure others have used something similar, but these are my interpretations. I think they may be a bit too advanced for a K-1 team, but I like to give them the benefit of the doubt and try things out. I got the idea from a drill we used to use for Ice Hockey, it was called the 'wheel drill'. I came up with a half field and a full filed version of it. I will try to explain, and if anyone would like a copy, I can send the diagrams. Here goes the full field verions:
