We run a great offensive drill that you might want to try. It's easy and extremely effective in getting your guys to read the defense and react to what it gives them.
Put four defenders in a 2 up 2 down zone against 3 offense. You can set your offense however you want but we always go with a point and two wings. Then it's 3 on 4. What's great about this drill is that both the offense and defense are unscripted. The defense can tee-off because it has superior numbers and this forces the offense to be more aggressive to be a double team or to challenge a gap to draw a double team. Then the other offensive guys have to move early and decisively to make a play.
The first few times you run this you will find your offense standing a lot and wondering what to do. Having to play with inferior numbers is so foreign to their thinking that they will struggle a lot. Plus, most coaches wont let their team be the aggressor when they have even numbers, let alone inferior numbers. So this will be very different for them.
The cool thing is that you will see huge improvement very quickly in how they approach the game. They will become more aggressive and decisive. And that's a huge advantage when you start playing games.
