Net Passer helps players to find passing lanes. Encourage players in the field of play to keep moving and get to open space.
Description
Coach sets up the net and marks an area for players benches. Then marks spots on either side of each net.
2 players from each team start on the marked spots beside the nets. They are stationary and cannot be checked.
The other players line up in the marked out players benches.
On the first whistle players play 2vs2.
Once a player gains possession they need to pass to their stationary teammates before they can score.
On the double whistle players rotate positions with the stationary players going to the bench and the moving players going beside the nets.
Change what net teams shoot on to change dynamics of the game. (Offensive tactics vs. breakout tactics)
Key Points
Reinforce offensive tactics:
- Passing
- Getting Open
- Quick Shots
- Puck Support
Encourage defensive tactics:
- Checking
- Marking
If scoring is too easy coaches can set up a scoring line that players need to cross before scoring a goal or include a player to play as a goaltender.
