USE THIS DRILL IN YOUR OWN PRACTICE PLAN:
Perfect timing for this. I can really use this drill this week. I’m going to modify phase 1 a bit and turn it into a 2 on 1. I need to work on this type of puck movement, but I want the passer to then jump into the play as we have been struggling with that passer following up and driving the net.
I’ll post it up on the site when I’m done.
ya – let me know how the modification works out. all 5 phases of this drill are very good!
