Mirror drill (defensive footwork)

Setup

Pairs face each other between two cones 5 yards apart. The attacker shuffles side to side and changes direction; the defender mirrors and stays in front. 20 seconds, then switch.

Coaching points

• Stay low on the balls of your feet
• Shuffle: feet never cross
• Watch the hips, not the head or stick
• Keep the stick out in front, top hand up
