Set Up
Put a goalie in net, and 2 lines up top and 2 lines below goal line extended about 5 yards away. We are using TENNIS BALLS in this drill to protect our goalies. Going 1 side at a time, the player will pass down from a top line to a low line, and we want the player receiving the pass to cut to the ball, catch, turn corner, and finish. We are using inflatable dummies here to act as a defender and making sure we drive top side to square back up to the goal for our shot
Coaching Points and Principles
- Step to the ball when you catch it don’t wait!
- Turn the corner, we don’t want players running away from the goal when shooting. Get top side and your body in front of the cage
- Protect the stick, need to keep the stick in front of our body here before we shoot, don’t hang it too much
- DECEPTION – Add in fakes to make it harder for the goalie
Progressions
- do the same drill but execute question marks or inside rolls
