Hockey drills for technique build-up
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.
Add extra: Scoring within 10/15 sec. Start when the attacker receives the ball back from the defender.
- V1 starts with the ball
- V2 comes running in and gets the ball from V1
- V2 takes the ball open and passes to V3
- V2 runs right through to offer his pass to V3
- V3 passes the ball back to V2, who runs into the circle and completes
- A passes the ball to B when V3 has given the ball to V2
- B passes the ball outside where C presents himself
- It now becomes a 3 vs.
- V1, V2, V3 are going to try to defend the goal
- A, B, C want to score on the goal
- If the defense takes the ball away, they can score in the goal on the side
- 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.
- With a walk-in ball
- Playing a right front
Learning to attack using space over right.
Defending out using a feint flat:
- Position yourself well in relation to the opponent.
- Make a feint as if you are going to flatten the ball.
- Change technique at the last moment and play the ball calmly.
- Ensure good communication with your fellow players.
- Stay alert to any pressure from the opponent and adjust your action accordingly.
- Last man to RA
- RA to running Mid-Mid
- Mid-Mid to Striker
- Striker shoots or passes to Mid-Mid
- Last man plays to Left back.
- Left back plays back.
- Last man plays to Right back.
- Right back to incoming Right front.
- Right forward to center forward on head circle.
- Center forward shoots at goal.
- Right forward runs in for tip-in.
- A starts with the ball and passes it wide to B
- B takes the ball and passes to C
- C comes to the touchline
- C takes the ball and plays a 1:1 with the defender
- Party form with the goals not in the middle of the field but on the right sides of the field.
- Player A runs toward balls.
- Players B and C towards field of play.
- Player A takes the ball out -saves in.
- Players B and C offer themselves, being covered by the two defenders.
- Player A may make a selfpass.
- Attackers score in the big goal.
- Defenders if they get the ball, score in goal X.
Areas of focus are: quick take, offering, run and play lines, tackleback.
- Half Field.
- In the middle of the half field set out a square with pawns, players are not allowed to walk through it with the ball, but are allowed to walk through it without the ball.
Set a goal; for example:
- First play with your team 4x before you can score.
- Try with at least 3 or more players in the circle to outplay the goalkeeper during the attack. Do not aim for the ball to go straight to goal when you enter the circle but look for the right passing options.
- Try to build up the attack from the sides.
- Always try to have someone at the guard.
- Put a bowl down if the attack threatens to fail.
- You can also say; the ball must go around the back of the box per new attack if they are going to be huge on a bowl.
- -. Or if a goal attempt fails that then the ball must first be taken out of the circle before a new attempt may be made.
Additional difficulty: always enlarge the box if the attack goes well
Questions to the players:
- What is the best way to set up an attack?
- What is the best way to defend an attack?
- Which side do you want to guide the attacker to when you are defending?
- Which side do you want to attack from?
