Set Up
Put 3 offensive players and 2 defensive players on the crease. Add 4 cones on the perimeter, about 8-10 yards away from the goal. Coach will be outside the playing area, with balls. On the whistle, each offensive player must run around 1 of the 4 cones. Coach will feed a ball in to 1 of those players, and it’s a live 3v2. Let each group get 3-4 reps, then change players
Coaching Points and Principles
- Defensively – Playing short handed, use zone principles to try gn slow down the offense and knock down passes
- Offensively – move the ball quick, find open space, and get quick shots off.
Progressions
- Make 4v3
- Spread the cones out further to challenge the defense more or for less skilled players
- Shrink the cones in, making it harder for more experienced players
