Hockey drills for
- 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?

- When the defenders intercept the ball they score at the goalmouth on the side
- The balls start at player at 1.
- The player at 1 passes to the player at 2.
- The player at 2 takes the ball and at that point the four player around 2 may start putting pressure on that player.

- When the defender has taken the ball away, score on the goalkeeper on the side.
Exercise 1:
- A stands in the middle of the circle and gets start 4 balls to round off on goal.
- Ball 1: B passes the ball to A, A takes it and rounds off with the forehand stroke.
- Ball 2: A immediately turns around and receives the ball from C exactly along the pawns so that A can elevator the ball over the pawns and then rounds with the backhand on goal.
- Ball 3: A turns back immediately and receives a hard ball from D which she elevators over the pawns by placing her stick in front of the pawns and finishes with the forehand strike on goal.

- A starts with the ball and passes the ball to B.
- B takes the ball and passes it to C.

- Remember the scoring positions in the circle and look at each other.
- For the defenders, communication with each other is important how they are going to stand. So you want to hear them communicate with each other.
Make 3 equal teams.
One team starts as defenders in the circle, one team starts as attackers in the circle and the other team starts outside the circle as a bowl.
One team starts as defenders in the circle, one team starts as attackers in the circle and the other team starts outside the circle as a bowl.
The goal is for the bowl to pass to each other at tempo and to play to the attackers in the circle.
It is important for the bowl to pre-scan before they receive the ball and to already know where the attackers are or will be in the circle.The
rest of the team then does not participate in the attack, but can get the ball back and then it starts over again.
