Set Up
Put 2 lines of players up top about 10 yards away, and a coach in the middle. The coach will just act as a guided defender using their stick for light checks. The player cutting through middle with receive a pass, get their stick in front of them, and get down hill for a shot. We are also working on a deceptive shot called a leaner, which is a great way to make a goalie think you are shooting low, while finishing high
Coaching Points & Principles
- After catch, lead with your stick (tuck & protect) and get downhill
- Plant off your inside foot to accelerate downhill
- Short, Quick hands.. don’t want to load stick back for shot, maintain protection
