Finish with Defense
A simple finishing drill with different defensive looks.
Description of Drill: Set up two piles of balls on either side of X with an ultimate feeder at each spot. Set up four attacking lines with four defensive lines at the top of the 8. To start the drill, have the defender one step behind from the attacker. On the coach’s whistle, the attacker cuts, catches a feed from opposite X, and finishes. Do the same thing with each line around the 8.
Phase two will be when the attacker starts a step behind the defender. The defender is trying to mark their cutter in front and get a stick on the feed. The attacker is still catching a feed from opposite X and trying to finish.
Equipment Needed: Balls and cones
Skills Emphasized:
In the first phase of the drill, we are focusing on quick catches and finishes on the inside.
In the second phase of the drill
Defensively: We are focusing on marking the front side of our cutter, seeing the ball and defender & not letting the attack catch inside the 8.
Offensively: Finish quickly.
Coaching Points of Emphasis: Shooting as soon as their hands are free, cutter coverage, being able to see the ball and player.
