Add-It-Up Drill is a continuous transition game drill starting with 4-on-3 and ending 6-on-6. The goal is to dictate pace and increase tempo. Brady Drill is another transition drill 5-on-4 where the players are fine-tuning their decision making on the attack as well as working communicating skills. Mini Game Series is a 4-on-4 mini game. The emphasis is on tempo, the defense handling the ball in game situations and playing offense in game situations.Bez Drill is a great competitive drill and emphasizes the philosophy of how he wants his team to play. It is a constant 3-on-2 break drill that gives the players many fundamental and stick handling opportunities.

In all of the drills, Daly talks you through the action and his team's philosophy. He finishes by taking you through game footage showing the up-tempo, attacking style of transition game.

As one of the winningest active coaches in the country, Jim Stagnitta's success has come from his ability to be efficient on the offensive end of the field with the 2-2-2 Offense. The 2-2-2 allows you to maximize the ability of all your players, breaking them into three separate groups to attack as a unit behind the goal, in the crease and up top.

In this on-field DVD, Coach Stagnitta shows you his progression for building his 2-2-2 offense. This easy-to-follow progression works the team as three groups before bringing it all together.

Warm-up Drills
Learn warm-up drills that will get your entire team involved (including the goalies). These fast paced drills move up and down the field to simulate an unsettled situation. This is an excellent drill that combines a number of line drills with one full-field drill that lets you see the entire field at once.

In addition, Stagnitta runs his players through a 2-man Shooting Drill. This is a two-part drill that puts players in dodge and shoot situations they will find themselves in in a 2-2-2 offense:
Part 1) works the behind the net and up top players. The focus is to work together to balance the field and shorten the pass lanes. This teaches the players to follow, throw the ball against pressure, dodge hard and understand spacing.
Part 2) works with the players inside focusing on timing of cuts, spacing and finishing from the inside (sealing, quick release).

Building a 2-2-2 Offense
The warm up drills take Stagnitta into his 5 Drills for Building the 2-2-2 Offense. These drills help build the offensive system of play, but also work your defensive play. The drills are shown live on the field with his team as Coach Stagnitta talks you through the drills and the principles for the offense.

• DRILL 1 - Live 2-on-2: Step one of breaking down the 2-2-2. This drill takes the shooting drill to the next level - having the the high and low players work together as a unit. Focuses on keeping the offense balanced with proper spacing between the two players, setting and using three types of picks and dodging hard and quick to create a lane or a shot. This allows you to work on two spots - the high and low, as well as defense - on one side of the field.
• DRILL 2 - Live 4-on-4: (Perimeter Balance): The next step in building the 2-2-2 is putting the top and bottom players together so each group understands what the other is doing when they are attacking. This drill focuses on balancing the perimeter, spacing (opening up) and reading the dodge. Here, you incorporate slides and reads, which forces your offensive units to adjust accordingly. Also, in a 2-2-2 the passing lanes can be long, so this drill helps the offense close those lanes to make easier, safer passes.
• DRILL 3 - Live 4-on-4 (Inside Crease): Here you start live crease play by adding the two midfielders to the two attackmen. Working on the two attackmen and their three pick options, the two middies focus on sealing their man and popping outside, creating opportunity for the inside (that may open up shots for the attackmen behind). The drill also works on timing, cutting and reading the lanes.
• DRILL 4 - Survivor Drill: This drill places all four corners and the inside players together to focus on inside play. This drill is great at breaking down inside play and helping the perimeter players find open teammates inside. This also teaches the inside players where to set themselves based on ball movement on the outside. Finally, it forces the inside players to handle the ball in "tough" situations, and trains them to move with a purpose, opening dodging lanes and taking away the defensive slides.
• DRILL 5 - Live 6-on-6: The final drill pulls all three two-man games together with a live defense, allowing you to rotate your

If you substitute efficiently and effectively you can create attacking advantages that provide scoring opportunities and create chaos for your opponent.

Through marker board diagrams and on-field demonstrations, Matt Waesche shows you a variety of techniques to keep your sideline organized.

You will see various types of substitutions and shows how to move players in and out of the game in strategic routes to create attacking advantages on offense and prevent fast breaks on defense.

Drills are also included to prepare your team for fast break situations. Wing play works on fast breaks from face offs as well as using substitutions to create attacking advantages. The Toomey drill works on quick transitions to create mismatches and advantages.

Every lacrosse game requires a number of substitutions to keep players fresh and performing at the best of their ability. With this DVD you will be able to use your substitutions to create havoc for your opponents!
