Defensive Slide Drill

Instructions

Get into a defensive stance (Get your center of gravity low to move quickly, but don’t lean forward to much, keep your back straight and your butt out a little bit, bend your knees and keep your hands about waist level and out to swipe at the ball)

From your defensive stance, have a partner, or pretend to be defending someone. Slide your feet across left or right, your are trying to keep with your oppenent moving left or right. It is important not to cross your feet, i.e. If moving right, bring your left foot to your right foot, and then move your right foot out to the right, never cross them over each other. Do this drill each way for about 5-8 steps 10 times.
