Set Up
Put players in a single line on 1 side of the crease with all the balls available to them. Each player starts with a ball and runs around the crease to finish inside. We want to emphasize the players squaring up to the goal as they run so they are increasing their shooting angle which protecting their stick. Once they shoot, they run to the back of the line and wait for their turn again.
Coaching Points and Principles
- We want players to think about increasing their angle by getting in the middle of the cage
- They should square their body up while protecting their stick
- Keep the feet moving!
- Shots should be focused on placement, so we should keep the stick by our ear and not load completely
Progressions
- Add in pump fakes and deception shots
- add a coach on the crease as a light defender
