One Player Advantage inside the 8 meter
This is a player-up drill that begins with a 3v2 then progresses to a 4V3 and then to a 5V4.
The drill set up
2 attackers and 1 defender starts down low
A line of attackers is formed on one side of the coach and a line of defenders is formed on the other side of the coach.
The drill
The coach will throw the ball to the attacker
The defender will release when the coach throws the ball. The defender will have a small advantage getting back on defense as the attacker has to pause to catch the ball.
The attacker will attempt to score in a 3v2 scenario
The drill stops when a goal is scored, ball is saved or the ball exits the 8 meter space. Therefore if the ball falls on the ground, pick it up!
The previous group will stay and a new ball be thrown to the next attacker, releasing another defender creating a 4v3 scenario.
repeat the same process to continue into a 5v4
If you want to keep track of points
Attackers 1 point for the goal.
Defense gets 1 point for getting the ball out of 8
Goalie gets points for saves.
