Reply To: SAG for maintainign defensive side of puck in man coverage

[Tony]

Tom M Paulie thanks for the suggestions. We alreayd play Tom's battle game and sometie add an element of "add a man" up to 3 by passing to a team's point man. We will try Paulie's drill.

I have use your "4 playing roles" to pretty good success with the players.
We have stuck with the 2-1-2 and use F1 F2 F3 with the F3 staying high in the offensive zone.

We have also instituted the cycle with great success. 10 yo defensmen understandably really struggle against this strategy.

After watching one of your swiss videos we have begun using the passing drill with opposing lines and player faking oncoming players or performing a skill in the middle. Wow do we get a ton of puck in that drill in a short period!

Thanks again for the site!
