Hockey drills

  • Make 2 equal teams.
  • Each team gets an attacking goal.
  • Rights to score can be fetched in 1 of the 2 boxes.
  • On offense or ball loss, rights must be retrieved again.
drawing Warm-up ball possession high tempo
  • Focused pass giving and receiving.
  • Center player focus on accepting, handling ball and passing on.
Points of focus:
  • In the forehand
  • High stop
  • Speed ball -width of field serve.
Extension exercise: middle player runs in and asks for the ball, accepts and turns around, passes the ball runs back quickly and offers again.
drawing Passing in 3-pairs
  • B starts running around the pawn triangle
  • At the middle pawn it gets the ball
  • And then plays the ball back to A
  • B runs further in
  • It receives the ball in the backhand
  • In the exercise from the other side, you are played into your forehand
  • When B has taken the ball, he plays it to C
  • C has run past the pawns in the meantime
  • C takes the ball and runs past the pawns back to the dead ball line
  • Passes the ball in front of the goal to B.
  • B then rounds the ball into the goal
You can do this exercise on both sides of the pitch so that you can pass faster in succession.

drawing Pass-round exercise 3 players
  • A starts with a ball and drives into the circle and rounds off
  • B plays when A has rounded a ball to V1
  • From here the 2 versus 2 starts
  • When A and B conquer the ball, they can score in one of the goals on the side
drawing 2 versus 2 rounding
  • We always play 2 against 2
  • Group 1 plays against group 2
  • Group 3 stands ready with a ball, if the ball is out, or scored, group 3 may start, Group 1 then enters that box to defend
  • Group 1 against group 3
  • Group 4 is ready with a ball, ball out, or scored, group 4 starts with the ball and writes group 3 to defend
  • Group 3 against group 4
  • And so on
drawing 2 versus 2 with switching moment
  • One ball per pair.
  • Pairs are instructed to pass through as many gates as possible in 2 minutes.
  • A gate is completed when you pass the ball three times.
drawing Passing gates
Divide your group into 2 teams.

  • Red player in center plays defender in and gets ball back. 2 - 1 hockey out in the 'forbidden' zone.
  • Right blue player starts with ball and plays defender in, plays back to blue and a 3 - 3 starts in the 'forbidden' zone and right field.
  • Defenders may score in the goal if the ball is intercepted.
  • After this attack, an attack starts from the left.
  • Player red plays into the defender, plays back and a 4-4 in the whole 23 meter area starts.
  • Defenders can defend by scoring in one of the goals.
On offense -with advantage- or off-ball, pass immediately to next attack.
