A good drill to work on man down defense designed by Coach John Gallant
Set Up
This is a 4v3, and set up cones as shown in diagram. The crease and low corner offense players need to stay inside, the point player can move east-west. The ball always starts with the point player, and the emphasis is for the defender guarding ball, to get on STICK SIDE. If it’s a righty point, we want to get up on his right shoulder, taking away passing lanes. The low defenders need to communicate to cover the crease and other 2 low corner offense. Every rep is 5 seconds, and get every group 3-5 reps then rotate players
Coaching Points & principles
- Approaches – We want the point defender to approach strong hand of ball carrier
- Off ball defense – Need to cover the crease and low corners by communicating and getting into proper lanes
