4/27 ModFH Simple Suggested Practice Plan
3-3:15 - Team talk in goal cage (player should have all their gear, including water bottles)
3:15-3:25 - Dynamic Warmup
3:30-3:45 - Hits With Partners 15 yards apart (one on 25 yd line and one on 40yd line — all hitting in the same direction)
20 push passes
15 front sweeps
10 drives
*No reverse stick on stops - MUST get feet around
*Coaches should walk around and provide instruction and positive feedback
3:45-3:50 - Water break… all players either in goal cage or sitting in a circle with coaches somewhere on turf
3:55-4:10 - Ball carries
Everyone has a ball across width of field sorting at 50 yrs line
Dribble to the 25 yrd line
Straight carry with large taps 2x (out and then back)
Straight carry with small taps 2x
Indian dribble 2x
Straight carry w/ball on stick the entire time 2x
4:10-4:15 Water break… all players either in goal cage or sitting in a circle with coaches somewhere on turf
4:20-4:35 - Speed Dribble Competition
Two lines at 40 yrd line going toward goal cage
First players in each line have a ball
On whistle they speed carry to the circle and take shot on goal as soon as in circle
Continue until all players have had a turn
*Coaches will call out time based on when the player gets the shot off (does not matter if shot was successful)
*Coaches need to keep players hyped up by telling them the time to beat (also each line should be instructed to cheer for their teammate who is speed dribbling)
4:35-4:40 Water break… all players either in goal cage or sitting in a circle with coaches somewhere on turf
4:45-5 - Minefield Race To Goal Competition (this is a new one)
Two lines at 40 yd line going toward goal cage
Place enough balls randomly in an area infant of each line that will provide one ball for each player
On the whistle, the player at the front of the line has to run at top speed and choose one ball to touch (I.e., pop ball ahead) and then control toward goal. When player gets to circle, they do a sweep hit or push pass toward goal (no follow up shot)
Next person in line goes on the whistle
Continues until all players have had a turn
*One coach should track which team wins the race each time to “getting the first shot off” and then tally which team had the most wins
5-5:10 - Water and Stretching Circle with Coaches
5:15 - Leave Turf As A Team (2 lines with coaches)
