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. Have a second player or coach start with ball on the low corner, and the shooter at the top cone. The shooter up top should be catching the ball loaded and they will step down into the cones staying loaded, and plant off their front foot like jab step. 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.
Progression 1: Get to the Middle
Progression 2: Get down the alley
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 into the middle
- protect the stick, let the stick lead you on the rolls down the alley. Focus on quick release shot
Progressions
- Add in a guided defender
