Middie Draw Game

Description of Drill:

Create chemistry within the draw team. The goal is for all three players to work together to win the draw then convert it to a man-up goal.

• 3v3 on the draw circle working to win the draw. 

• The team that wins the draw then pushes the ball for a quality shot on goal

• The team who does not win the draw has to hold one player back behind the 50, creating a 3v2. 

• Point system

  • 2 points for winning the draw

  • 1 point for a Save

  • 1 point for a goal. 

Equipment Needed:

• 2  goals moved up on the restraining lines

• Balls on the middle third of the field

Coaching Points of Emphasis: 

• Emphasize the draw team working to win the ball with communication, creating space and gaining possession off the draw. 

• Communication for the team who does not win the draw as one person needs to hold back. 

• Encourage them to convert it into a quick goal, or a quality shot so they must read the D to make that happen. 

• We begin each ball with a draw and end it with either a shot or a save.
