Set up

Put 2 cones in front of the goal, about 5 yards apart. Add a line of players to one side of the cones. Coach will have the balls and will roll a ball in on the crease or make a pass. They players must scoop or catch, and finish quickly.  Each player gets 2 shots, and then a new player does the drill.

  • Focus on scooping and finishing quickly.. no time to cradle
  • Accelerate through the ground ball
  • Think about finishing with deception, changing planes

Progressions

  • Have 1 player do 4 shots
  • Make 1 shot a hockey style shot
  • add in pump fakes
