Set Up
Put players on the wing with balls, and a coach about a stick length away. The player will start with a ball, and facing away from the goal/coach. When Coach says “go” or blow whistle, the player will flip their hips, and during that time, coach will shade high or low. The player will then attack the space, given and get a shot off to the goal
Coaching Points and Principles
- Quick reactions! Try to attack the space quickly
- If attacking a space that forces your weak hand, you can either protect and stay strong with your dominant hand or switch to improve your weak hand.
Progressions
- Add a double dodge
- Create more constraints for the players
