How it works

Mirror Drill: Offense and defense face each other on the left lane line. The offense slides from lane line to lane line, changing direction whenever he wants.

  1. Offense and defense face each other on the left lane line.
  2. The offense slides from lane line to lane line, changing direction whenever he wants.
  3. The defender mirrors every step: low hips, never cross the feet. React, don't guess.
  4. 30 seconds, then switch.

Coaching tips

Stay low and keep your nose in front of the offensive player's chest. Push off the trail foot.
