Hockey drills

  • Party game with two goals and a square in the middle of the field.
  • The ball may not be played through the square. In that case the ball is in touch.
  • So the idea is to play field hockey outside and not through the axis of the field.
drawing Party Form
  • A starts with the ball
  • B comes for the ball, puts his/her stick down
  • A plays a hard aimed push to B
  • B elevators the ball over the bar
  • Turns away and drives the ball into the circle and rounds off
drawing Elevator assumption
  • A starts with the ball
  • The player floats with the ball to the pawn in front of him/her
  • The player drives around it with her/his forehand
  • A gives a push out of the run to the in-running B
  • B runs in and takes the ball
  • Pushes into the circle and rounds on goal

Relay
  • Make two equal teams; team red and team blue.
  • Start with ball at orange pawn.
  • Float a lap around the green pawns and place ball with hand on pawn red.
  • Then run a lap around the green pawns without ball and tap the blue pawn with your hand.
  • Then walk another circle around the green pawns and take the ball off the red pawn.
  • Then drive a circle around the green pawns with ball and pass the ball to the next one.

Note:
  • Depending on the number of players, you can have everyone take 1, 2 or 3 turns.
  • Once a player has had her/his last turn, she/he sits on the floor.
  • If a team has all its players sitting on the ground, they win the relay.
