Flip It Game

This is a great drill for recognition and build up into different situations for the players

SET UP

Put players into two teams (dark and light) Set up 2 lines of players right about the restraining line. In each line the colors are alternating, and its mirrored in the other line. Coach picks a color to start on defense (Say Dark), and put in crease. The first two lights player get a ball from coach and play 2 v 1. Once the play ends, the 2 next players come in, but are now dark.. and dark is on 3v2 offense, and 2 light are now on defense (roles changes). Continue drill until 5 v 5 finishes, then restart, and flip who starts on defense. 

PRINCIPLES & COACHING POINTS

• Recognition, switching from O to D every play.
• Defense – Understand taking away the space and playing man down zone approach. One player on ball, others back protecting the house. 
• Try to let every rep be 10 seconds max.
