Execution
- Conclude the training session with a match form on a half field.
- Adjust the width of the field depending on the size of your team during the training session.
Objective
- To seek the flanks instead of hitting the ball through the centre of the field. Teams look for solutions and are inclined to shift the game. This increases the percentage of ball possession.
- Two teams are formed, depending on the number of available players. In the middle of the field, there is a square or rectangle where neither the ball nor the player may pass through.
- Adjust the size of the square or rectangle to change the level of difficulty. The larger this area, the more challenging it becomes.
- You can agree that players may run through the area, but the ball may not pass through it.
- Ensure there are no items in the area and use flat cones to prevent tripping.
- With an odd number of players, you can play with a 'chameleon'. This player always joins the attacking team and thus constantly changes roles.
- Place balls at the side of the field so that when a ball is out, a new ball can be immediately picked up to continue play.
- As a trainer, stand in the middle of the field and coach both teams.
Objective
- Make players understand that getting ahead of your opponent and quickly passing the ball is essential in an attack.
Objective
- As attack: achieve efficiency from your attack.
- As defense: execute clever defensive plays.
- The field is limited to the dotted line.
- The attackers take the ball somewhere on the dotted line and try to score.
- The defenders attempt to clear the ball via the outside.
- The attackers score 3 points for a goal, 2 points for a forced penalty corner, and 1 point for a good scoring opportunity.
- The defenders earn 3 points when they clear the ball by playing between the cones, 2 points for a free hit, and 1 point when the ball goes over the sideline.
- Adjust the size of the teams based on the number of available players.
- Play with one team on the side and switch every 2 to 3 minutes to facilitate rest and discussion.
- Make the cones for the defenders smaller.
- Use a 'chameleon' to give the attackers a numerical advantage if scoring is difficult.
- Ensure clarity on who is marking which opponent.
- Defenders must stay low and avoid fouls.
- Attackers should actively seek a foot.
- As an attacker, target the opponent's backhand; an attack on the right side is often easier.
- Defenders should assist in defending if their direct opponent is not active.
