10 Min	Zip and Skip Drill https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32zM45vGUjU 5 cones positioned around the net, top near the box Player should pop-out or pop towards the ball to mimic getting open Move the ball around the net, catch on the outside, turn, switch hands and pass on the outside Move your feet to get ready to receive the ball Run to the line you pass to Quicker we move the ball the tougher the defense can recover Receive the pass, one or two craddles, then make accurate pass Variation: Use a long pole as a limbo GB, coach places ball, player drops their ball
10 Min	Stacked Sliding Drill Teaching kids defensive slide sets is important but difficult to implement in a game due to the chaos. An important principle for defenders to learn is how to slide and recover. 4 offensive players in the four corners Put a goalie in cage and put 3 defenders stacked in a straight lin in the middle of from the crease Assign a number 1,2,3 to each of the defenders or call out their names The offense should move the ball, keep spacing, and shoot only off a pass across the crease or skip pass The defense will have to come out and slide to the ball and recover. The coach calls a number 1,2,3 and the designated player with that number is the player who must make the slide and recover As the ball is passed, a coach calls another different number and the assigned player slides aggressively to the ball. The first defender recovers to the inside hole, stick to the inside and in the passing lane, with head up looking for the next dangerous guy
