A great Drill Designed by Coach Mike Marich that works on defensive slide and recover principles and offensive spacing
Set Up
Put 5 cones around in a circle, and space based on your player ages and skill levels. Add 4 offensive players on the perimeter and 3 defenders inside. The offense must move the ball around while the defense is constantly sliding and rotating
Coaching Rules, Points & Principles
- Offense
- No skips
- Ball can go either direction
- With one cone free and no skips, one player needs to get to an open cone.
- Defense
- Stop ball
- Can’t play ball and first pass
- Back two guys are help (adjacent and 2).
Progressions
- Add in Cuts from the offense forcing defense to protect the middle
