  I also enjoy the indoor game and my team has productive practices
over the winter.

  To minimize poaching try playing 3 on 3. That would simulate
handling and defending handlers in a split stack offence. But that
would not be quite realistic because you would normally get a lot of
help or a switch on a deep cut. Therefore limit the maximum length of
a pass by dividing the field into 3 zones, you can not pass more than
the next zone forward. Also we usually disallow hammers indoors. To
make it a good workout we often play make it you take it, with only a
check in between points. Really makes you want to play defence with
the make it take it rule.
