Set Up
Put 4 cones around the goal in the shape of a diamond, starting directly behind cage. Then put 3 additional cones in the crease area for the players above goal line extended. This is a simple drill, of players starting on the inside, and then popping out to space for support as the ball is coming towards them. the player at X should be moving East-West receive and make passes
Coaching Points and Principles
- Catching + Passing – we want to catch and pass the ball quick, like we are transferring the ball to the backside
- Spacing – Players learning to pop to space for easier passes around the goal
Progressions
- Put a time limit & see how many times you can pass around the diamond
