Set Up
Create a box in from of the goal, using 4 cones. Add 2 offensive players and 2 defensive players inside the crease. Next, put 3 offensive players on the perimeter as “passers”. Have each rep be 45 seconds to 1 minute, and throw a new ball in every time there is a shot, miss, or turnover. The perimeter players are trying to make a successful pass to a teammate on the crease for a shot. The defense is trying to not allow the crease players to get open, or catch the ball. Perimeter players hold the ball for 2 seconds max, and then pass to another perimeter teammate. Shots inside should be catch and shoot, quick release. Give the offense 1 point for a goal, and defense 1 point if no shot get off. Defense can earn 2 points for knockdowns or interceptions.
Coaching Points and Principles
- Offense – Players should be moving, setting picks, everything they can to try and get their hands free.
- Defense – communicate through picks and movement, keep sticks in passing lanes, and checking down on incoming passes, disrupting the offensive player.
Progressions
- Add in other constraint – MUST USE PICKS, as an example if that’s what’s you are working on
