Fast Break Draw Controls

Description of Drill:

Diagram 1

• Two sets of 2 attackers in between both restraining lines. 

• Each pair of attackers will be taking their own draw control and will have a predetermined location of which goal they are set to attack. 

• Whichever draw taker wins by crossing the restraining line in possession of the ball becomes the 5th attacker in a 5v4 fast break scenario. 

• Defense needs to learn how to slide to defend a fast break opportunity. 

This allows you to get multiple reps of draw controls in while also allowing 20 players at a time to be on the field. 

Diagram 2 

• Similar set up in between the restraining lines but the low attackers and low defenders will be up at the restraining line until the draw occurs and then they have to push to form a box to work on their shape while being a man up

Equipment Needed: 

Balls, Field, 2 different colored pinnies and a whistle.

Skills Emphasized: 

Conditioning

Coaching Points of Emphasis:

Make sure the attack pushes the fast break in a short period of time. Opportunities should not be wasted because of a lack of quick decision making. Reward the defense for stalling the attackers, make sure you blow the play dead if the attack takes too long. Go into this drill after explaining slide packages to your defense so they can work on their timing rather than the initial concept. Make sure your goalies pick off poor passing decisions.
