Footwork and Movement

Defensive Denial Drill:

This drill will need 1 person with a ball and a offensive and defensive player who will be set up between the cones.

The offensive player will run from cone to cone. The defence must keep a hand between the ball and the offensive player to stop a pass going through.

Footwork and Movement

Double drop step:

From the block do a spin back, drop step to the power box, lift fake from the chin position, jump step to a hook.

Concentrate on not bringing the ball down below the shoulders.

When shooting learn to keep the ball up from the chin position. If you move that ball even a centimeter away from that body the defender will be able to knock it away.

Do twenty each side of the double drop step.

Shooting

2v1 to 3v2:

2 players will attack 1 defender. After a shot has been taken all 3 players become offence and 2 defenders will run in to play a 3v2 at the other end.

Once a shot has been taken at that end. The 2 defenders become offence and 1 defender will run in at the other end.

This is a continuous drill, where each end the same thing will happen each time.

3 v 2
