Description of Drill-Execution
Play 4v3 in the attack box with a goalie. The offense passes the ball around the perimeter, looking to create a shooting opportunity. The defense must play a zone and rotate to the ball carrier. The offense is awarded one point for each goal scored, and the defense scores one point each time they gain possession.
