Rush Shot – Shot Block
SKILLS
PURPOSE
The two variations of this drill work on similar concepts of rushing the point to either block or force them to make a decision.
HOW TO
- Line of players in the corner and player at the point. To isolate skills, you can separate into D and F.
- Player from corner (1) passes to the point (player 2), ideally bumping it off the boards to build that passing skill.
- Player 2 will receive the pass, drag across the blue, and shoot.
- Player 1, after passing, will immediately attack to the point, rushing their shot and trying to block.
- Player 1 goes to line 2, line 2 goes to line 1.
FOCUS
- Good, smart, passing. The passes to the point need to be on target and player at the point needs to be ready to receive and move the pass once it gets to them.
- Attack! Player from the corner needs to not hesitate and needs to get to the point without fear.
