- To pawn 6 and there make a bounce over the pawns
- Slow dribble to the beginning of the pawn
- Player 1 plays in hard to player 2 with flats.
- Player 2 runs in on the ball, takes the ball in stride and turns left or right.
- Player 2 plays the ball in to player number 3 with a hard push.
- Player 2 then runs to pawn number 3 without the ball.
- Player number 3 accepts the ball in the run and runs on to pawn 2.
- Player number 3 hits a regular high shot to player 1.
- Player #1 takes the ball in the run and then plays another flats on the player at the pawn.
- Player A plays the ball with a flats or hard push on C.
- Player C comes running in and rebounds the ball wide at once to player B who has come running in.
- B takes the ball in stride and accelerates with the ball on the stick to the edge of the "dotted circle.
- There he passes the ball with a hard push to player C who has run around the pawn and offers himself.
- The ball is accepted just outside the circle and then taken into the circle with 1x touch and hit on goal.
- Then the player gets a 'rebound' ball played to him from the back line by the trainer and finishes it on the goal.
Passing: CAB
Conquer the goaltending:
- Team blue and team red
- With a controlled pass through the goalmouth, you "conquer" the goal.
- The team that conquered all the goals wins.
- A goal can be recaptured by the other side playing a controlled pass through that goal.
Conditioning in combination with stick and Ball
- A: sprint from 1 to 2
- B: perform rope ladder as per 5 exercises below
- C: take ball around the hat and finish on goal
Note: if no rope ladders available then hats down
Points of attention:
Points of attention:
- Pay attention to your predecessor.
- Outside back.
- Exercise must be done at pace.
- two foot run -one foot in each box.
- Ladder Taps -right foot in each square, left foot outside.
- Two foot lateral run -sideways both feet in a box.
- Skiers.
- Squat Hops.
- Make 2 equal teams.
- Each team gets an attacking goal.
- Rights to score can be fetched in 1 of the 2 boxes.
- On offense or ball loss, rights must be retrieved again.
- Focused pass giving and receiving.
- Center player focus on accepting, handling ball and passing on.
Points of focus:
- In the forehand
- High stop
- Speed ball -width of field serve.
Extension exercise: middle player runs in and asks for the ball, accepts and turns around, passes the ball runs back quickly and offers again.
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.
- 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.
Relay 4
- Players blue and red start at the same time with the ball
- Slalom around the 5 pawns --> cross --> around the green pawn and finish on goal.
- If you score, you may immediately choose the shortest path to tap your next teammate.
- If you miss; wide, post or the ball does not reach the goal, you make a detour via the red or blue pawn/triangle.
- Players blue run back via the blue pawn and players red via the red.
- When you have been, you sit on the ground.
- The team that has all players on the ground first wins the relay.
- Depending on the number of players, you may choose to have all players take their turn twice.
- Switch sides halfway through the exercise.
- Jump 3 times
- Sideways to the first pawn
- Sideways back to the back line
- Sprint to the second pawn
- Slow dribble back
- Start at common pace after instruction from trainer
