Dropping Into the 8 Meter
This drill trains players in quick stick passing and rapid transitions from attack to defense, using a dynamic 5v4 setup where players must sprint into the 8 meter area, focusing on strategic positioning and defensive coverage. Key coaching points include maintaining awareness by keeping sticks and heads up while dropping into the defensive end at an angle and effectively marking the most threatening opponent when outnumbered.
