Stepping out quickly deflect the attacker away from goal

Description

In this session we are focusing on stepping out quickly to deflect the attacker away from goal. The drill begins with the blue player stepping up to the middle cone, as the player approaches the cone, the coach will shout a colour/number for the players to react. The number/colour will represent what side the attacker should drive towards and where the defender aims to deflect away from goal. The defender aims to show away from goal, putting themselves in a position to deny a route to goal. Each set should consist of 2 - 5 reps and should be completed at least two times per player.
