6 on 6 - Double Jump
This drill is used to help a kid get rid of the ball when they are double and triple teamed.
- 12 players are needed for the drill (6 offense, 6 defense)
- The team with the ball sets up in a 2 - 2 - 2
- Each defender is given a number 1 - 6
The offense attempts to move the ball around, with adjacents cutting out for help and the rest cutting and returning for the ball The coach calls out a number on defense, and that defenseman doubles the ball. If two numbers are called, then its a triple team The offensive player whose man runs for the double turns and cuts towards the goal for a pass The offensive players closest to the double move towards the ball circling for assistance The offensive player who gets doubled looks up for the cutting player or the adjacent player who is providing him assistance and makes a pass
Note: We may want to have 1 or 2 coaches play defense and provide the double, to kick start the action.
Variation: Have the player with the ball start at the midline and slide to double or triple with the two top defenders.
