This drill is a fundamental shooting drill for developing through advanced players that teaches players to generate power and accuracy while maintaining their speed and momentum toward the cage.
SET UP
Set up a line of players on the wing with a coach or feeder positioned inside with a bucket of balls. Players initiate their movement toward the goal, receive a pass on the run, and continue attacking downhill into their shot. As they catch the ball, players should get their hands back, turn their shoulders, and keep their feet moving rather than slowing down to shoot and shooting OVER the first goal. Emphasize carrying their momentum toward the cage through the release and finishing the shot while still moving. Run the drill from both sides of the field so players get repetitions shooting with both hands and from different angles.
COACHING POINTS & PRINCIPLES
- Momentum to the Cage: Keep your feet moving through the shot and direct your body toward the goal instead of fading away or stopping before the release.
- Hands Back: Catch the ball ready to shoot, get the hands away from the body, and create enough separation to generate power while running.
- Run Through the Shot: Don’t treat the catch and shot as separate actions—catch, load, and release within your natural running motion.
