Dropping Into the 8 Meter

This is a 5v4 drill emphasizing dropping into the 8 meter. 

• Stagger the cones at half field with the attack on the midline and the defensive players in front of them. 

• The ball starts at the left end and the player's quick stick passes from attacking player to defensive player all the way down the field like a zipper. 

• After each player passes the ball they immediately sprint into the 8. 

• The attackers are getting into fast break positioning while the defensive player is dropping at an angle directly into the 8. 

• When the ball gets to the end the last attacker takes the ball into the 8 and plays out the 5v4. 

• You can add or subtract the amount of players if needed. 

Skills Emphasized:
Quick stick passing and dropping into the defensive end. 

Coaching Points of Emphasis:
Dropping in at an angle from the midfield into the defensive end. Having your stick and head up the whole time. Marking up most dangerous when down a player.
