Block Down – Shoot & Block II

This is a game play drill to develop the Block Down

Organisation

• Place a cone approximately 40m directly out from goal
• Place a second cone approximately 20 from goal to one side
• Divide the players into pairs; one defender and one attacker
• Each attacker in turn solos towards goal shadowed by the defender
• Once within shooting range the attacker attempts to shoot for a point and the defender attempts to block
• Reverse the roles after a set number of attempts

STEP Variation

Players at the beginning – Increase the number of defenders to increase the occasions of blocking
