Backhand Shot

Objective: Score as the result of using quick one-touch or two-touch passes and short, fast leads.

Set Up:

  • Place a five-yard line of cones one yard inside of the circle
  • Have a pile of balls in the center of the field two yards behind the broken circle or seven yards from the top of the circle
  • Have your group form a line behind the ball pile
The Drill:
  • The first shooter starts one step behind the line of cones
  • The ball starts with the player outside of the circle
  • The shooter leads toward the ball while the player with the ball passes it firmly to them
  • The shooter plays the ball one-time back to the passer and then leads in one direction
  • The passer read the shooter's lead and one-time passes the ball into space for the shooter to pick up and shoot to the far post
  • The passer replaces the shooter and the next person in line becomes the passer
Points of Emphasis:
  • Encourage flat, firm passes
  • Recommend that your players keep a low body position throughout their time in the drill, standing up and then dropping down to receive the ball takes up too much valuable time in a quick-paced drill
  • Emphasize shooting to the far post
  • Encourage your goalkeepers to make one-time clears to the least dangerous space or the opposite side of the circle the shooter is striking the ball from
Recommendations:
  • For intermediate players: modify the drill to be two-touch passes and allow them to get their feet around to receive that ball on their strong side for the forehand shot
  • For advanced players: encourage them to receive the ball on their reverse for the forehand shot and practice back-space shots
  • The first check pass can be challenging, encourage your players to communicate clearly with their stick, their voice, and their lead to help time the pass
  • Start the drill by only going to one side, then switch, finish with the players getting to choose the side they want to shoot from
  • Make it a competition! Set a time and have the field players set a number of goals that they think they can score within the time frame — if they meet it, they win, if they don't goalkeepers win!
