Star Recovery Drill
- Interior cones mark out the “heart,” or most dangerous area of the field.
- Practice covering inside out and back again
- on-ball defenders have one responsibility: stop the ball carrier.
- Off-ball defenders need to worry about protecting the inside, keeping head on a swivel with assigned attacker, and be ready to cover open players should you need to slide
- Setup two sets of cones like in the diagram
- Kids start at the X's and approach and recover at each cone
- Exterior cones represent an offensive player preparing to dodge.
- Defender slides to cones on an angle, not a direct line.
- Stick should be up field when breaking down on the exterior cones.
- Stick should be to the inside (in passing lanes) at interior cones.
- Variation: Add offensive guys on the outside and one in the crease, pass the ball around, have the whole team defense approach and recover
