C3 – 5 on 2 Forecheck – 4 Attack – RB Pro

Key Points:
Overload the strong side with one player on the weak side for a one- timer or to change sides.

This is the same drill as the last posting but I am focusing on the forecheck. It is a combination of the Torpedo and left wing lock but has some basic principles. A. There are always 4 on the strong side with 3 forechecking and the LD supporting. B. There is always a player on the weak side to back door, one time shoot or pass across to change sides on the attack. C. Players are accountable to cover if they count 4 in front of them or 3 already attacking on the strong side. D. The weak side LW or RD must read that there is danger of a turnover and drop back. E. Everyone backchecks hard thru the middle on turnovers.

Description:
Forecheck
1. Overload on the strong side.
2. Three F's on the left side and RD on weak side.
3. C, RW and RD overload right side, LW on weak side.
4. RD and LW must read and drop back if turnover is possible.

This is an effective way to practice team play. The attacking D plays defense vs the next 5 attackers.
