Set Up
Create a small area playing space, in this video we are using the restraining box on 1 side of the field. We have split the field in half with cones, so players get some form of visual on where to be defensively and offensively off ball. We have the white team going 1 direction and the dark team going the opposite, so everyone played both offense and defense. To start, put an offensive and defensive player on the crease. The drill initiates with a 1v1 dodge from the high wing, if you want to give your offensive player a little advantage, that works just fine. They will run down the alley, and the defender will slide off the crease to double team. The offensive player off ball should show their stick, call for the ball, and if they need to, step to the pass to catch and finish! The two players on the crease will move up to the opposite wing and the two players who ran down the alley, will now move to the crease area
Coaching Points & Principles
- Run hard down the alley like you are trying to score in transition!
- When the double team comes, make sure to get the pass off while your hands are free, or bounce to get your hands free
- Crease offense, should move to a passing lane for their teammate to get a clear path and reduce knockdowns
- Shooting! Nice hard overhand shots through the net!
Progressions
- Put 2 players on the crease, and offense has to read where the slide comes from
