Set Up
Create the shape of a T using 4 cones. The player starts at the bottom center cone in a defensive position. The defender will run and approach the point cone, and as they are approaching, the coach will point to a direction. they will read that, and side run to that cone, shuffle back to the start cone, and then repeat. Coach should do 3 reps at a time so the defense doesn’t know what’s coming
Coaching Points & Principles
- Body Position – Player need to stay balance in a low athletic position the entire time
- Stick – Keep stick in a read position at all times.. never drop hands
- Speed – Try to work through as fast as possible without sacrificing the efficiency of your footwork
Progressions
- Use extra defenders to be token offensive players, so as they defender approaches, they run making it more game-like
