The purpose of this drill is to work on offensive and defensive reactions. This drill will be easy to manage if you are coaching by yourself or with a limited staff, while keeping up the pace of practice with quick rotations and many touches from all players.

The 5V4 Scramble Drill begins with all of the players in a small box around the crease. 

Players positioned from the two hash marks from the football markings to about ten yards north of the crease. 

They can be stationed anywhere they like, but usually four offensive players are in a box formation with the 5th offensive player on the crease (A classic 'box and 1' look - from the offensive perspective).
