Defend Net 2 Sides is a competitive small area game that works on protecting the net, along with utilizing point players to generate scoring opportunities.

SETUP
Place 2 nets on the goal line as show in the diagram.
Players play 3 v 3 on both sides
Before they can shoot at their designated net, they must pass to one of their point men. So either the defending team from the one side can pass to the opposite side where their attacking Dmen are; or the puck can come across centre and the forwards can move the puck up to their Dmen at the blue line and start a new possession to shoot.
The point man must pass to their partner who can shoot or pass.
Attacking forwards should get to the net for tips and screens.

COACHING POINTS
Offensive players without the puck should work hard to get open and find lanes to support their teammates.
Offensive players with the puck should be aware of their point players, and practice give & gos.
Defensive players should keep sticks on the ice to block passing lanes and eliminate sticks in front of the net.
Both sides should work on communication: practicing both verbal and non-verbal communication with your teammates.
