Set Up
Create 2 boxes that are roughly 5×5 yards. Put a defensive line on the outside corner of each box and the offense in the lower corners. To start, put 3 offensive players in 1 box, and 1 defender guarding 1. Send a new offensive player in the gameplay, and after the first pass the defender is a released and can play live, in this 4v1. For every pass made by the offense, add in a new defense until it’s 4v3. Play keep away as long as you can, until a turnover. A defender from current play, will carry a new ball across to their offensive box and repeat the same game
Coaching Points and Principles
- Offense – Play vs Pressure and in tight spaces. Need to catch and pass quickly to keep the defense moving!
- Defense – play ball and backside zone with slides and recovery as the ball is passed. Keep your sticks IN AIR to try and knockdown passes!
Progressions
- For younger players, make the playing area a little bigger or you can play 4v2
