If you’re a coach, save this drill. If you’re a player, send this one to your coach!

4v3 Y Drill

Here’s a drill that targets so many important factors on both sides of the ball. Let’s break it down for each side:

Offense 🥍

1️⃣ Draw and Move the Ball - No more running through double teams, draw and move forward or throw back to the mirror look.

2️⃣ Move it Twice - Once we draw, we move it twice to attack the opposite side of the field. It’s important for the players to understand the ball moves faster than the man, and that after a slide and recovery the defense is stretched thin.

3️⃣ Man Up Principles - if it progresses to 4v3 man up play, the offense is taught to draw and dump, attack the gaps, and force defensive rotations. At that time, it’s important to look for skip passes once lanes open up.

Defense 🔒

1️⃣ Communication - it starts pre-dodge, designate a 1 and 2 slide before the play starts. The goalie needs to initiate the slide, and the sliding defender dictates a recovery or “reco” call. Then, comes the bump call to move the crease defender to the next pass, shortening our recovery. Lastly, the defense transition to man-down communication of “hold/rotate.” Lots to unpack here!

2️⃣ Approach - Defenders are told to take away strong hands. A driving principle for us is that your stick will never do this, and body positioning is critical. Forcing offensive players into uncomfortable situations is always a plus for the D.

3️⃣ On-ball / Off-ball Sticks - Defenders focus on sticks out to play the ball, and sticks up and in passing lanes when off ball.

Here’s a drill to save and use if you want to score more goals, full description below:

🎯 The Tunnel Drill 🎯

The idea is simple, less is more. Simple footwork and a simple stick on repeat. Add in simple target commands and now your brain has to process information and react quickly - now you have something that translate to practice and games.

1️⃣ Set up your cones or tape markers in two lines to create a “tunnel.” You can set them up straight on, or on an angle from the right or left side. This helps us align our hips to the net for every rep.

2️⃣ Shuffle Footwork - nothing against the crow hop / crossover step, but shuffling allows for quicker releases. By focusing on the shuffle, we can keep our weight constantly underneath us, while also giving us the chance to load weight and transfer it as we shoot.

3️⃣ Quiet Your Stick - extra stick action means more movement, and things can go wrong quickly. It also slows down our release. By quieting the stick we can release the ball quicker, and still pack a punch because our arms are extended.

4️⃣ Target Cues - a coach (if 1:1) or the next player in line calls a target during your shuffle approach. This prevents the “same shot, same spot” mentality. By receiving the auditory cue, we are forcing our brain to process information and simultaneously react to the cue. This is where drill work translate to practice and games. When we get the ball and get eyes to the cage, our brain needs to process where open net is and shoot for it in an instant.

Save this video and make sure to add it to your bag to practice on the regular.
