You take 3 shots around the perimeter. Shot 1: Backside Shot - Simple look at the back pipe (on the crease quick ball fake) - Run towards the cone Shot 2: Outside Shot from 7/8 yards - Run around the cone Shot 3: Outside shot from 12/13 yards - Run around the cone Shot 4: Cut Down the Middle to work on ball Fake Feed from Position 5 - Each player gets 4 shots
15 Min	Star Recovery Drill Star Recovery Drill Interior cones mark out the “heart,” or most dangerous area of the field. Practice covering inside out and back again on-ball defenders have one responsibility: stop the ball carrier. Off-ball defenders need to worry about protecting the inside, keeping head on a swivel with assigned attacker, and be ready to cover open players should you need to slide Setup two sets of cones like in the diagram Kids start at the X's and approach and recover at each cone Exterior cones represent an offensive player preparing to dodge. Defender slides to cones on an angle, not a direct line. Stick should be up field when breaking down on the exterior cones. Stick should be to the inside (in passing lanes) at interior cones. Variation: Add offensive guys on the outside and one in the crease, pass the ball around, have the whole team defense approach and recover
