Set Up
Put 4 cones on the perimeter and 1 cone in the middle. We like to call that middle cone area “The House” because its the crease area that lets up the highest % shots, so we need to defend it al all times. Put 4 defenders on the crease prepared to slide and recover at a specific cone. Not he whistle, they all approach their cone and then recover to the house. have players change cones after each rep
Coaching Points and Principles
- Approaches – Players should be approaching their cone at an angle that would force an offensive players away from the goal. Break down using short choppy steps staying under control
- Recovery – When recovering back to the crease, the defender should get thinner sticks up in the passing lane!
