Hockey drills
Party with four goals.
- The coach makes two equal teams.
- Each team defends two goals.
- It is allowed to play field hockey behind goal, but scoring is only allowed at the front.
Points of attention:
- Play with the 3 second rule; take the ball quickly after a foul. Takes longer than 3 seconds, free hit for the opposing team.
- If it is crowded on one side of the field, move the ball at pace to the other side where there is more space.

Relay
- Create two equal teams.
- Start the relay at the coach's signal.
- The player slaloms around the pawns -both ball and body around the pawns- and rounds on goal -push or flush-.
- If the player scores, he may immediately sprint back and tap the next player.
- If the player misses, he must take a detour via the blue pawn -on the side of the field- and then sprint back and tap the next player.
- When it's your turn, you sit down on the ground.
- Depending on the number of players, you can also choose to have all players take 2 or 3 turns.
- The next player may not start until he is tapped by the player in front of him.
- The team that has all players on the ground first wins the relay.
- There are different types of slalom to apply in this exercise:
- Normal slalom
- Slalom in which the player's body and ball are to the left or right of the row of pawns.
- Slalom where the ball is to the left of the row of pawns and the body is to the right.
- A starts with the ball and push the ball to B.
- A is going to defend and B is going to try to score in the goalmouth.
