In this conference clip, Donal Mullane of Bowdoin College breaks down a fast-paced positional drill designed to improve offensive efficiency in numbered situations and help players make better decisions in live 2v1 scenarios.
Key takeaways include:
- Teaching players to expand the defense before attacking downhill
- Defining carries and drags as ways to manipulate spacing in transition
- Reinforcing stick positioning by keeping sticks above the collarbone
- Using overlap movement to create better passing and shooting angles
- Incorporating deception through flips, fake flips, shot fakes, and pass fakes
- Helping athletes become more confident and instinctive in numbered situations
By consistently repping spacing, deception, and decision-making in live transition scenarios, coaches can help players become more efficient offensively and better prepared to capitalize on advantages during games.
