One of the most effective ways to help athletes perform on the court is to adapt practice drills to mimic the 6v6 game. In the second of five drill demonstrations, Karch Kiraly, Head Coach for the U.S. Men’s National Team, guides coaches through a “Penalty” drill. This drill entails starting at a tied game-score and taking away a point when a certain focus/skill is not executed successfully on the court; this drill is best used when trying to eliminate extraneous movements or attentional shifts on the court. Kiraly demonstrates the drill and how to provide useful feedback using a penalty focus of defensive coverage zones on the court. 0:00 – Introduction 0:28 – Drill Overview: 6v6 Penalty Concept 1:15 – Why Penalty Scoring Matters 2:30 – Court Setup and Player Alignment 3:40 – Penalty Rules Explained 4:55 – Live Drill Demonstration 6:35 – Coaching Emphasis and Adjustments 8:05 – Common Errors and Corrections 9:25 – Applying the Drill to Match Play 10:55 – Key Takeaways for Coaches
