Set Up

Put players in 2 lines up top. The first place drifts to the wing and receives a pass from second teammate in line. They will catch the ball loaded and finishing with a step down shot. After the teammate makes the pass, they will fade in other direction with a shot from opposite wing

Coaching Points & Principles

  • Balance – when drifting, make sure you stay balanced and stick is up as a target ready for a pass
  • Catch Loaded – Limit Cradling, we want to get into our shot as quick as possible
  • Step Down – Step to cage, don’t fade, and drive hips through the shot towards goal
