Hockey drills for technique attack / offense

Superslalom.

You can perform this slalom in 4 different ways:
  1. Normal slalom: player and ball move forward through the gates.
  2. Player keeps moving to the left of the gates and has the ball on the right side of his body.
  3. Player continues to move to the right of the gates and has the ball on the left side of his body.
  4. Player moves to the left of the first gate and ball passes on the right, player moves to the right of the second gate and ball passes on the right. The player continues to alternate this until the end of the slalom.
After the slalom, the player rounds the ball on goal and rejoins the back of the line.

  • Defender red accepts the ball and plays the ball with push pass back to attacker blue.
  • Attacker blue takes the ball and plays a 1 vs. 1 with the blue defender in the square.
  • Does the attacker win the duel he may score freely. The defender does not have to pass if the 1 vs 1 is lost in the square.
  • If the defender takes the ball away, he makes sure the ball is played through the orange gate.
  • The attack is finished when the attacker has shot at goal or the defender has played the ball through the orange gate.
Points of attention:
  • Focus is both on defending -poking, sitting low, not stepping in- and attacking -tempoing, direction changes, etc.
  • Depending on the number of players, the exercise can be plotted twice.
