4v3 with new wrinkles

We always talk about fast paced drills that simulate game situations and forces players to think, recognize and react. Practicing clearing can sometimes really slow down even the most fast-paced practice. In a 4v3 drill, with a few simple wrinkles we can integrate breakout passes, spacing, re-direct passes, and riding all in the fast paced ¾ field transition drill. The key is to keep the drill moving even with the three different segments. We do not want players waiting in line to lose interest, so keep it fast paced and moving

4v3 Half Field Fast Break With Trailer

This is the old school way to teach fast breaks. It practices offensive ball movement and defensive rotations movements in a classic 4- on-3 fastbreak. The trailer ensures the offense has a sense of urgency which is much more like a live game fast break.

Up 1 Add 1 Transition drill

I remember when I played many many years ago the only fast break our coach worked on was the 4v3 break. As the game has evolved we have learned that fast breaks come in so many different ways to the point that people do not even say the words “fast break” anymore but now we hear more often “unsettled situations” I love this drill because it works on taking advantage of having the extra player at every stage. You even get to work on clears as well!

5 minute 2v1 drill

This fast drill encourages a tremendous amount of hustle from the players, the drill offers up a fast 2V1 to 2V2, it is really a shooting drill, encourages players to quickly recognize and ‘make plays’ as well as defenders learning to handle the ball in close quarters close to the cage, as well as attack players playing defense. High pace, high energy will add passion to your practice and get the kids moving and engaged.

Man up Man down skill builder

This is a great drill to test who should be on man and man down as it forces fast ball movement under pressure. It also forces the defense to work as a unit and rotate to the ball.

Face Off and Fast Breaks Team Drill

Too often, we have to choose between having our faceoff players practice independently or participating in team drills. This competitive faceoff drill engages the entire team, eliminating the need to separate faceoff specialists from the group.

Sideways 3v2 Rapid Zone and EMO Drill

This drill is perfect for getting rapid fire reps that will improve your players’ ability and understanding of how to beat a zone. Many zone and man up plays utilize the idea of overloading one side to create a 3v2 or 4v3 against one side of the zone. In this drill we start our offensive players in that overload and instead of walking slowly through how to play against a zone, we give them the opportunity to play it out many times in a short segment
