A good game for young players to work on spacing
Set Up
Start on one side of the field, and add ones that are tangent with the far side crease. Have the players play 2v2 on the 1 side, and emphasize spacing and working to get good shots. Older groups can use picks, but younger players should focus on shallow cuts
Coaching Points & Principles
- Spacing – Don’t let 1 guard 2. Player without the ball should mirror ball carrier
- Defense – Communication and double teaming when necessary
- Gold Medal Shots – Want to reinforce gold medal shots
Progressions
- Play 3v3
- add a outside support player, like a coach
