Sharks and Minnows
Players (the minnows) line up on one side of the
restraining line (or set some cones on an open
field area). Each player has a ball in their
stick. On a whistle, all players run to the other
restraining line (or cones) cradling the ball.
Coaches (the sharks) try and check the ball away
from as many players as they can as players run
by. If a player drops a ball from a check while
running, he stops and becomes a shark . Once all
players make it to the other side (and checked
balls are cleared away by a coach), a coach blows
a whistle and all players run back across the
field. This time trying to avoid more sharks.
Keep going back and forth adding more sharks
until one player is left (the winner)

Hungry Hippo
Players line up on both restraining lines (or set
some cones on an open field area) facing each
other. All balls (the more the better) are
placed in the middle of the field. On a whistle,
all players run to scoop one ground ball and
return it to their side and place near a home
cone or a put in a ball bag or bucket. Coaches
monitor results as players go back and forth
retrieving balls (only one ball per time)Once all
balls are collected, coaches add up the results
and announce a winning team.

Musical Ground Balls
Players line up on a restraining lines(or set
some cones on an open field area). Set balls
about 10 yards away and count that there is one
less ball for the number of players (ex. 9 balls
for 10 players). On a whistle, all players run
to scoop one ground ball and return it back
behind the line. The player who did not retrieve
a ball is eliminated. Continue rounds by
removing a ball until there is a winner.
Checking to take a ball away from a player is not
allowed for u9. For u11 you may want to allow
checking especially when it is down to 2 players
left. Encourage players to work on good
technique to box out an opponent, scoop and curl
away.

The Numbers Game
Make two even teams of players between two
coaches. Add a goalie to play in the goal if
available. Players line up on both restraining
lines (or set some cones on an open field area)
facing each other. A third coach is located in
the playing area with a ball. Coaches will
select a number of players to go on the field and
play for a shot on goal against the opposing
team. The total combinations cannot exceed the
number of players on your team. For instance, if
you have a team of ten players, the coach may
only use the numbers 1-10 once in combination
per round. Each coach selects his own
combination without the other coach knowing.
This makes for unbalanced playing combinations
(ex 3 vs 1) On a whistle, the coach on the field
throws a ball out and the two team combinations
run onto the field to play against each other.
The team that scores a goal wins that round. A
new set of combinations is organized and sent out
on the whistle for the next round. Play until
coaches use up all their number combinations.

Ultimate Lacrosse
This is Ultimate Frisbee rules for lacrosse. Make
two even teams of players between two coaches.
Players line up on the end lines of a field (or
set some cones on an open field area) facing each
other. Select one team to launch the ball down
the field to the other team. Once the ball is
picked up, the player with the ball must stay
still and find a teammate to pass to. Teammates
may move about the field to get open. An
opposing player guarding the player with the ball
must give him 3 yards of room and not check the
stick. If a pass is thrown and caught, that
player must now be still and find a teammate to
pass to. If the ball is not caught and falls to
the ground, each team tries to get the ground
ball for possession. Once possessed, the player
with the ball stops and looks for a teammate to
pass to. Teams try and move the ball down the
field across the opponents end line to score a
point.

Fireball
Make two even teams of players. All players go to
the center of the playing area. A coach throws a
ball high into the air and players scramble to
get possession. Once possession is attained, that
team must execute at least one pass (add more
passes for more skilled players) before shooting
on goal. Opposing players may check to take the
ball away and get possession. If a goal is
scored, a new fireball is launched to begin
play again. A coach may intervene anytime and
stop play to throw a fireball, especially if
there is a long srucm for a ground ball.

Tag Youre Out
Place players inside a restricted area marked
by cones. Each player has a ball. Place one or
more coaches inside the area. At the whistle,
coaches chase players and try at tap the head of
the players stick to tag the player out of the
area. Players dodge away from the coaches
protecting their sticks. If a head is tapped by
a coach, the player leaves the area. The last
player in the area is the winner. This drill
develops stick protection and dodging skills,.

Cradle Relay
Create two even teams of players. Line players
up behind a start cone and place several cones
out front in a offset pattern. On the whistle
the first player on each team navigates around
the cones (right, left right) cradling the ball.
Once they get around the last cone, they sprint
straight back to the line and place the ball on
the ground in front of the next player in line.

Shoot the Bunny
Find a stuffed animal (a bunny) or two and tie a
string around them. Tie the string to the top
bar of the goal so that the bunny hangs down to
the lower corner of the goal. Create two even
lines of players. Line players up behind a start
cone about 15 yards from the goal and place two
cones out front about 5 yards from the goal. The
coach has a pile of balls next to him between the
two lines. The coach alternates rolling a ball
out to the first player in each line, who scoops
it up and the runs (cradling the ball) toward
the goal. The player must shoot the ball at the
goal and try and hit the bunny before passing the
cone at 5 yards. Each team gets a point for
hitting the bunny.
