Set Up

Place 2 attackmen behind the goal, add 1 defender guarding 1, and the second defender on the crease. Use a trash can or a token offensive player on the crease. The defender will guard the 1 attacker, and force them to make a pass. They will then sprint over to the other attacker that received the pass, and guard them at they go to the goal. At this point, our second defender will come slide and help

Coaching Points & Principles

  • Good on ball defense, force the ball carrier back under Goal Line
  • Off Ball Help – We want to shade the side the dodges is happening from, so when the ball goes east-west, the defender on crease shades the other side of the crease
  • Sliding – We want to slide and approach with good angles.
    • Topside, we want to slide towards the top shoulder
    • Underneath – Slide about 1 body length away from the ball carrier
