- Two solving exercises that you can both do for 10 minutes
- Also first the explanation of the tip-in exercise
- B starts running around the pilons and accelerates when he reaches the goal towards A.
- A gives a hard facing pass towards the goal
- B tip the ball so that it changes direction
- Then they change places
- Other exercise
- We are going to practice walking in out
- A is a right behind who wants to play the ball somewhere. B is the middle right and he is going to run one in out.
- He starts in the middle of the field and wants to offer himself for A.
- He accelerates towards the sideline A may choose whether he wants to give the ball or not.
- If he doesn't give the ball, A finishes his line further and comes back to where he started and then runs again on another in-out.
- If A passes, B takes the ball and is allowed to score on the goaltender.
- Game with the three teams,
- Make three equal and fair teams.
- A team starts as the defenders (on the picture the red one).
- A team starts as the attackers (in the picture the blue one)
- a team behind the 23 meter line (on the picture the white one)
- For the defenders the intention is to pass the ball to one of the white ones in the box at the 23 meter line.
- For the attackers the intention is to score.
- When they have scored they get 1 point
- For the team behind the 23 meter line, they are supposed to take the ball as the defenders take it to their pass.
- If the ball is with the team that is behind the 23 meter line their attacks will start.
- The team that was attacking and the team that was defending will be in the box behind the 23 meter line.
- In this way, it keeps on turning.
- The one who gives the most points at the end wins.
- Tips for the attackers
- Play the freeman when you are in possession of the ball and make sure that someone runs deep into it
- Pass over your opponent's backhand side
- If you are not in ball possession make sure you close the lines to the people in the box behind the 23 meter line.
- Tips for the defenders
- Make sure you are defended outside the circle so that they can't pull out
- Keeps track of your own male
- Close the backhand side so they can't pass over it.
- If you do have the ball look up the space and keep passing until there is a hole and you can give it to the people in the box.
- A starts with the ball one gives a facing pass to B
- B goes through the pilons with a vision dribble
- A runs into the depth and gets a hard targeted pass of B into the depth
- B accelerate around the pilons and give a 90 degree pass on A
- A runs in the direction of the circle and at the height of B so she can receive a 90 degree pass.
- She takes the ball and lines it up and finishes with a hit on goal
- Technique exercise
- 3 different actions we will refine and train further
- Exercise at A: Two lift actions with at the last one an acceleration to the circle (also practice with backhand lift)
- Exercise at B: Forehand turn them in steps to the left and from there turn them in the other direction and then accelerate towards the circle.
- Exercise at C: Entry exercise to the left and accelerate and the other side along it.
- They walk in the direction of the little v and step in with their left foot and let the ball go that way as well and bring it back and accelerate the other way and pull this acceleration through to the circle and then round it off.
- Further practice with half court press.
- The goal is that they realize what to do when the ball is passed.
- How are we supposed to walk as a front runner.
- Ball starts at A
- The 3 defenders will stand in such a way that the line is closed and so the ball can only be passed to the sides or back out.
- A gives the ball towards B because the line is closed.
- Now comes what the whole exercise is about what the 3 defenders should do now.
- V1 slides so that it is in front of the ball so that the ball cannot be given straight forward.
- V2 stands between the person with the ball and the ball goal line
- V3 which dribbles to the attacker C who comes closer. V3 prevents C from getting the ball and defends on the inside. between the opponent and the goal.
- From here on it is a 3:3
- On the other hand it is exactly the same and discs the defenders the same.
- Exercise expand on both sides
- A gives a push to B
- B takes the ball closed because defender D is in his back.
- B accelerates dribbling with the ball on the stick along the pilons, D runs with B because he doesn't want B to go along.
- D may try to conquer the ball when B has passed the pilons.
- B wants to pass the ball to C. If D intercepts, he passes the ball to C so that the person can continue with the exercise.
- If B gets the ball to C, C will do the same and the defender E will defend. If E picks up the ball, he can finish at the goal.
- How to continue, A goes to the spot of B, B goes to the spot of D, D goes to the spot of C, C goes to the spot of E and E goes to the spot of A.
- Tips for the attackers
- Keep the ball close to you and screen it with your stick
- Pass the ball over the backhand side of your opponent
- Accelerate to make it harder for the defender to stop you
- Tips for the defenders
- Keep your stick on the ground, you can react much faster to what your opponent is doing
- Keep your opponent on the forehand and make sure the line is closed!
- Let the attacker make the mistake and then grab the pass.
- Guide your opponent in the direction where you want him/her to go
- Exercise expand on both sides.
- A and B start running at the same time,
- A dribbles with the ball on the stick around the pilon.
- B runs in and asks A for the ball.
- A makes eye contact and pushes the ball to B
- B controls the ball closed
- Then dribbles the bars and do two elevator actions over the bars
- Aligns the ball and finishes with a hit on goal.
- You let them play a 3:2. Red wants to score the goal and blue wants to intercept and defend the ball.
- When the exercise is running you can add the extra blue defender later on.
- This player will run a tackle back.
- He is allowed to run when the first ball is played.
- Instructions you can give to the attackers
- Ball should always be able to go back,
- Create speed and keep it in your attack,
- someone makes depth so that you keep the field long, pass the ball into the forehand of your fellow player,
- Pass the ball over the opponent's backhand side.
- Questions you can ask the attackers
- What is the purpose of the exercise?
- How can you reach the goal and what do you have to do for it?
- What is the task of which player with which pilon?
- Which pass technique is best to use?
- Instructions you can give to the defenders
- Slow down your opponent by pushing them outward,
- You don't have to take the ball right away but wait for the opponent to make a mistake,
- The line must always be tight
- Questions you can ask the defenders
- What is the purpose of this exercise for you?
- How can you reach the goal and what do you have to do to achieve it?
- What is the most important task you have within this exercise?
- Expansion to practice with the tip-in.
- Furthermore, it is practiced with the hard and pure pass to each other.
- A pushes the ball to B on the forehand pay attention to the technique (hands apart, left foot in front, force from all over your body, arms moving in the direction you are going).
- B pushes the ball back to A
- A pushes to C, C back to A
- A pushes to D and D back to A
- When B has played the ball back to A he turns around and goes around the pilon and calls to receive the ball.
- A takes the ball from D and gives a hard pass towards E.
- E makes eye contact with the incoming B and gives a directed pass (may be push or pass).
- B takes the ball open, aligns it up and finishes with a hit on goal.
- After shooting, he accelerates around the pilons to run a tip-in ball. F makes eye contact with B and gives a hard targeted pass just as if he is going to score. B causes the ball to change direction.
- Players outside the box should replay as often as possible.
- The pass must always pass through the box.
- The players inside the box must try to intercept the ball.
- As soon as the players inside the box have intercepted the ball, they should replay as often as possible inside the box.
- Each time they have replayed 3 times, someone outside the box may enter the box to recapture the ball.
- As soon as they succeed, they will play to someone outside the box and it will start over again, so at least one player must always remain outside the box to be able to play.
- The field can be larger or smaller, there can be more or less players inside and outside the box.
- Player 1 runs with the ball to the white pilon, player 2 runs without the ball to the white pilon.
- Player 2 rounds off on goal (with backhand).
- Player 1 runs around the pilon where player 2 started and runs to the center of the circle.
- As soon as player 1 has played the ball to player 2, player 3 may start. Player 3 plays the ball to player 4.
- Player 4 runs around the white pilon and plays the ball (with backhand) to player 1 who has run into the circle.
