While the benefits of a great fast break have been much documented  in order to maximize scoring opportunities  a team must be able to attack the goal in transition when numbers are even  or even when an offensive team is down a player. \u0026lt; p\u0026gt;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsing an effective  balanced approach  Brockport head coach Steve Wagner presents a slow break that is both dynamic and efficient  allowing teams to continue the attack once a fast break is shut down  but before 7v7 play begins.

All drills emphasize the need to swing opposing defenders to one side  allowing the ball to go into space. Then  using a series of cuts and drives to the goal  Wagner shows how a defense can be taken advantage of before 7v7 play is initiated.\u0026lt; p\u0026gt;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhether the situation calls for a drive to goal  draw-and-dump opportunity  or feeding cutters  the drills and strategy call for perfect timing in order to achieve maximum looks on goal during a slow break.\u0026lt; p\u0026gt;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEmphasis on Attacking Zone Teams\u0026lt; p\u0026gt;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy instituting an effective slow break  Coach Wagner provides an opportunity to attack teams that employ zone defenses.
