Set Up
Use cones to help show the footwork movement here. Put 4 cones down in a row pointing to the goal. Add 4 Cones that instersects through the cones at the cone closest to goal. Add 1-2 more cones down to create a C shape. The players start with the ball in a loaded position like they are going to shoot. They will step down into the cones staying loaded, and plant off their front foot. The idea is to explode back uphill slightly, and then getting back down hill (C motion). The shots will be on the run moving our feet, or you can incorporate a step down shot with planted feet.
Coaching Points and Principles
- Stay loaded through the initial dodge. Hands back and away like you are loaded to shoot
- Plant off the front foot to explode back up his
- Use your elbow and shoulders to emphasize the hitch (fake shot). No need to use any head movement.
- Get back downhill for a shot
Progressions
- Start with a pass catching it loaded right into the drill
- Add in a guided defender
- Set up cones anywhere on field for different shot types/locations
