Set Up
To start create a small playing area. Put a goalie in each cage and split your group up into two teams. Put two lines of each team behind their goal on their respective defensive side. The game will start with one team having an advantage with a player going 1v0 against the goalie. Play till there’s a shot or a save and then two new players in the defensive end will come in and they will transition down the other way and play 2v1. They will play until a dead ball. Two new players come in from the defensive end and now they’re going back the other way 3V2. We are going to continue this until we get to 6V5 And then you reset and then start another game with the other team having the first advantage.
Coaching Points & Principles
- Find the advantage – revery rep is an extra player. We want players to recognize the open teammate and get a good shot off
- Zone like defense – playing 1 player less, we need to cover the ball, and have backside help on every rep! work on your slide and recoveries here
