DRILL: Numbered Shooting
TEST YOUR TEAMS ACCURACY WITH THIS DRILL!
THIS DRILL HIGHLIGHTS:
Shooting Accuracy
Quick Shots
Faking
Shooting Under Pressure
DESCRIPTION:
Start with a shooting shuttle at the top of the 8M. Give the net 6 numbers: low left, mid left, high left, low right, mid right, high right.
The shuttle side that starts with the ball will call out a number. The shuttle side that catches the ball has to shoot where her teammate called. Upgrade this drill by calling out two numbers: the first for a fake and the second for a shot. You can also add a trailing defender to pressure the shooter.
EQUIPMENT:
Balls, a Goalie, a Net, Shooters
HIGHLIGHTED SKILLS:
Shooting Accuracy, Faking, Taking Quick Shots while Protecting Her Stick, Faking, Shooting Under Pressure
KEY COACHING POINTS:
Focus on the shooting accuracy and selling fakes. Make sure the players are faking with their bodies: head, eyes and shoulders. They shouldn’t be faking with a large cradle! Don’t forget to focus on having them protect their sticks at all times, not only when the defense is trailing.
