Good drill to help the defense with their approaches to the ball.

  • Have defensive players pair up
  • Group 4 defensive players together
  • Have two outside players about 15-20 yards apart
  • Put a line of cones down the middle, each of the side guys are 5-10 yards from the cones
  • Put two defenders in the middle, one covers the man with the ball, the other with his foot on the line, but towards the other offensive guy
  • A man passes to the next, defense must adjust and give a lift check, The other defender runs to the mid line
  • After the lift check the defense stops engaging, player makes the pass, defense adjusts again
  • Far Defense guy keeps their stick up looking to intercept passes
