Edging Drill

Practice lateral entries and controlled stops to best position yourself in tight spots.

-Exaggerate the point of your toe (toward the inside or outside line) while keeping your upper body square, this will allow sharper cuts. -Once you get the cut down nicely work on repositioning your feet forward, so you'll be ready to block or move.

*elbow not required*



Backward One Foot Plow



A transition to one foot backward plow stop.
Practice this stop/backward slide in a face to face blocking scenario.

One Foot Stop



Forward one foot plow. Using an outside edge to pull into a hockey stop will not only give you the ability to stop one footed, but will also contribute to building depth and power from cutting.
