6 on 6 - Double Jump
This drill is used to help a kid get rid of the ball when they are double and triple teamed.
- 12 players are needed for the drill (6 offense, 6 defense)
- The offense attempts to move the ball around, with adjacent cutting out for help and the rest cutting and returning for the ball the coach calls out a name on defense, and that defenseman doubles the ball.
- If two numbers are called, then its a triple team
- The offensive player whose man runs for the double turns and cuts towards the goal for a pass
- The offensive players closest to the double move towards the ball circling for assistance
- The offensive player who gets doubled looks up for the cutting player or the adjacent player who is providing him assistance and makes a pass
Note: We may want to have 1 or 2 coaches play defense and provide the double, to kick start the action.
Variation: Have the player with the ball start at the midline and slide to double or triple with the two top defenders.
