Set Up

Put a line of players with the ball on the goal line, and another group of players on the crease. The drill is initiated with the player popping with ball. We want them to pop their hands away and bounce out, and make a good pass. The player on the crease will pop into space for a catch and step down shot.

Coach Points and Principles

  • Passes – Pop hands away and bounce like like you are moving away from pressure
  • Shooter – When popping to space, get your hands and stick up for a target
  • Try to catch loaded and execute a quick shot

Progressions

  • Add a guided defender
  • Do on other parts of the field for various shot types
