Watch as Coach Kevin Conry explains and shows video of this 4v4 box defensive focus drill. The drill involves defending a large area with less people, making it more challenging as there is more ground to cover with longer approaches. The defenders must focus on their individual matchups and on the back side. They must be able to slide and recover in different fashions especially when it goes from low to high. The defense works on effective sliding and adjustments, communication on picks, and reextending to get the offense outside the hashes. The goal is to put the offense in a position of taking low percentage shots and giving the goalie the chances of make a high percentage save.
