Set Up
About 5 yards from the goal line, put 2 cones about 3-5 yards apart. A coach/player with balls will stand about 8 yards away up top. On the whistle, the player will run figure 8’s and catch and finish around every corner. Challenge the player to use both hands, and make sure they are going around the cone direction so they are flashing to the ball up field. Do this in sets of 30-60 seconds for a high volume shooting and conditioning drill.
Coaching Points and Principles
- Always keep the stick up in box by ear ready to catch the Balla round the crease
- Focus on finishing and placement
Progressions
- Add in pump fakes before finish
- For higher challenge, make the passes harder to gather (Behind player, low, etc..). this will also enhance hand-eye coordination
