Set Up
Put 2 Pairs of offense on each wing and a player at X, and add in defenders for all spots. The drill is starts with 1 side setting up pick & slip. The defense can stay, switch, or double team forcing the player with the ball to recognize and make a decision. Its a live 5v5 play until the play ends
NOTE: The player at X is only a support or transfer player, unless their defender slides to the ball. They can then be activated into the play as a scorer.
Coaching Points and Principles
- Make it a point system
- Offense gets 1 point for a goal and/or escaping a double team effectively
- Defense gets 1 point for a successful turnover, or tagging/pulling the jersey of the offense
- 2 Player Game
- Picks and Slips – Offense needs to find space when they slip, and be able to escape pressure
- Defense must communicate and talk through the picks and try to get the offense into neutral
