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
