Set Up
Put your players at X, and a coach up top. One of the main focuses of the drill, and getting players to dodge with their HEADS UP! They will start by making a quick move at X, and then attacking to the island (5×5). Coach will be up top, and if we put out stick up, the players will make a pass, and we do a give and go shot. If the coach keeps stick down, players will execute a question mark dodge.
Coaching Points and Principles
- Dodge with your HEAD UP! Make a GOOD Pass to coach but separating hands from a defender with a small bounce
- Question marks – emphasize stick protection and getting hips back to cage
- Give and Go’s – Inside finishes, Catch + Shoot.. don’t hold on to the ball
Progressions
- Add other dodges or shot finishes
- Force shots to hit a certain part of goal
