Drills

Loopy
In general matchplay conditions, the scorer of any goal sprints to the side of the cage, giving the new attacking team a fastbreak opportunity. On reaching the end of the pool, the scorer turns and chases the break. The drill should be fastbreak after fastbreak. Keep quarters short and intensity high.
