Set Up
In front of the goal, set up 4 cones in a box not he 4 corners, and 1 cone in the middle. Have the defensive player start in the middle cone, which is the house. They will approach each cone, and recover to the house cone, and repeating until the finish all 4 cones. Put players in a line behind the cage, and start the next player once the player has reached their 2nd cone.
Coaching Points and Principles
- Focus on your angles at each cone getting the proper foot upfield, that would drive a player away from the goal, and not to the middle of the field
- On approaches, lead with your stick and break down by chopping your feet
- On recoveries, open up to the inside with your stick in the passing lane
- Switch hands if you are a more advanced player
Progressions
- Add a coach/player at each cone to emphasize the angle of approach
