CORE 2: SKILL MASTER

In our Skillmaster class, players will continue to become more proficient with their strong hands while incorporating weak-handed stick skills. A key point of emphasis in this class will be incorporating their ability to pass and catch with a teammate in motion. Players should expect to learn different ways to: receive a pass from a teammate, move after they pass the ball, and how to get open in order to receive a pass from a teammate. In addition we will begin to teach different two-man game movements like give and go’s, backdoor cuts, draw and dumps and the best ways to defend each of them.

CORE 3: GAMEPLAY EVOLUTION

During our Gameplay Evolution class players will be challenged to incorporate ambidextrous stick skills thus developing competence with their weak hands. The players will be put in situations that require them to pass and throw under pressure. One of the main focal points of this class will be 3v3 concepts where players are forced to move when they don't have the ball in their stick and create space for their teammates. On the opposite side, players will be taught defensive positioning and the beginnings of team defense and how to help when your player does not have the ball and the timing of slides. By the end of this class all players will have knowledge in attacking and defending a 3v3 situation, the basis of team offense and defense.
