Slow Break Trailer Shooting
Develop slow-break offense with an emphasis on finding trailing players cutting to the point for open shots. Balls start at 2 low cones. Those players dodge at GLE, looking to throw back or roll back. Two lines up top drift into the box, cut down on the slow break, catch the feed, and finish. Rotate to a different line each rep. Variation: Change dodge and slow-break locations. Add defenders to work on cutting and getting free.
Form Shooting
Force players to shoot on the run with proper hip rotation and balance. Players line up and take shots on the run, focusing on driving through with their hips and maintaining balance through the release. Variation: Add a defender or a second goal in the middle of the field to ensure shooters are going overhand rather than sidearm.
Change of Direction
Develop dodging, footwork, and transitional movement into a shot. Focus on creating time and space. Set up 4 cones in sequence. At each cone, players perform a dodge, switch, or change of direction, then finish with a shot on goal. Emphasize powering off each move and finishing with a shot on the run. Variation: Move cone locations. Add a defender at the last cone. Put targets on the goal or add a goalie.
