Enter wide and cut back low

Organisation

Three attackers against two defenders. One empty mini-goal and a two-metre entry strip near the goal end. A3 starts as deeper support.

Execution

A must enter through a wide reception in the entry strip, then cut back low to another attacker for a low push finish. No direct finish from the strip. B counters to the start gate on a regain. Restart after out-of-bounds/goal; rotate attacking roles each attempt and teams after four.

Coaching

• Receiver shows the stick before the pass.
• Finisher stays behind the ball line.
• Push only when goal and run-off are clear.

Easier

One defender only shadows the entry pass.

Harder

Let B defend the strip freely; recycling to A3 remains available.

What to observe

Count controlled low cutbacks to an available stick before counting goals.

Equipment

Sticks, one active ball, spare balls outside the area and cones; mini-goals where drawn. Use a safe indoor floor and suitable boards. Dimensions and duration are adaptable starting proposals.
