How to run Defense on F/D split
Figure out your gameplan
- It does not have to be within the theme of the week but try to include it
- Connect with the Offense side to see what they are working on to keep synergy within the plan
- Keep it in line with what the plan is for if/when the two groups come together
- Keep it creative
- Try to always include a skating aspect, we do a lot of forward skating and this is a good way to get some D specific work done
- Pick one aspect of skating and work for 5-10 minutes
- Incorporate some of the skating into the drills
- Try to have some shooting drills, it isn’t a must, but it is fun to have at least a little bit of shooting
