Set Up
Create a box using cones about 8-10 yards in front of the goal. Put 3 defenders inside with 1 offensive crease player, then add 4 perimeter offensive players. The offense must move the ball around the perimeter, and the defense must always play ball, and have backside support covering the crease player. They will be constantly rotating and need to communicate. The offense should look for inside opportunities and then you can add in progressions of skip passes and dodges.
Coaching Points & Principles
- Defense – Off ball crease support – need to rotate and recover to protect the house and avoid crease passes. Sticks up in passing lanes and communicate!
- Offense – Move the ball quick, crease player find open space and gaps on crease
Progressions
- Make playing space smaller to make it more difficult for the offense or larger to make it harder for the defense
- Play 5v4 to make it easier for all
