Ball control - run/pause

Great site. An absolute must for coaches who are willing to change...
Ignatius

DESCRIPTION

  • open face running with a pause for control at the cones (lines A and B)
  • Ball comes to a stop but athletes try and maintain their momentum going forward (athlete should not stop running and then start up again but rather slow down as the ball’s momentum is stopped and accelerate with the ball to get it going again)

  • Run/pause through lines A and B, open face dribble (open field run with ball held in contact with stick) back to lines C and D.

  • Slalom dribble through lines C and D ending with a shot on net.

COACHING POINTS

Progressions:

  • Ball always stays in the middle of the body – players are not allowed to turn the stick over to pull the ball from L to R in the slalom portion
  • Conventional dribble with players now allowed to turn the stick over
  • Players execute draws (not slalom dribble) around the cones in lines C and D
  • Instead of cones in lines C and D have players who have just taken a shot walk back to lines A and B in the path of line C and D so that players in those lines (C/D) have to draw slalom around the athletes walking back.
