Set up 3 different stations around the 25. Start with a 1 V 1 from station 1, after a shot/goal or defensive clearance both the players stay in the D as it turns into a 2 V 2 started from station 2. All the 2 V 2 players then stay in the D again for the 3 V 2 started from station 3.
In the 1 V 1 focus on the attacking and defending skills. Defender: focus on positioning and footwork, where to try to force the attacker to. Attacker: use speed and change of direction. 2 V 2 & 3 V 2: leading and positioning in the D are the key points.
