8m Shot Progression

The Fast Break Pressure Drill for Girls' Lacrosse focuses on enhancing goalkeeper clears and defensive breakout strategies under offensive pressure. It starts with a goalkeeper save and a clear to defenders, transitioning into a 4v3 fast break if the ball reaches attackers at the 50-yard line, testing both defensive clearing skills and offensive pressure tactics.

Participants: 2 crease attackers positioned for a free position shot at the 8m mark, 3 defenders, 1 goalkeeper.

Positioning: Two additional attackers are stationed beyond the 50-yard line, spread wide across the field.

Start: The coach initiates the drill with a whistle. The focus is on the crease attackers taking a free position shot.

Goalkeeper Action: If the goalkeeper saves the shot, they clear the ball to an open defender. This defender is typically the one positioned behind the shooter who moves out to receive the clear. An alternative clearing option is to pass to a low defender who is not marked.
