Set Up
Put players in 2 lines, 1 on the wing and one at the point. Have a coach or guided defender in the middle. The balls will start on the wing, with a pass up to a player who is read to get loaded. They will catch and windup like they are going to shoot. At that point as the defender, I am going to give the players 3 options with an approach, and they must read & react based off that
- Shade 1 side, attack the space I give
- Approach neutral with my stick flat across my hips, execute a Jab step off my butt end
- Approach neutral with my stick leading, execute a roll dodge
Coaching Points and Principles
- Players should be getting ready in a loaded catching position as the ball is being passed to them
- Read the Defense – Attack the space that is afforded
- Get a shot off quickly as you get by defender
Progressions
- Go Live – tougher defense to make the players double dodge
