Hockeyexercises for technique defense
- We will make three teams of 4 players
- Yellow, Blue and Green
- The field is from the 23-meter line to the back line. The field is made narrower (pawns just outside the circle)
- Yellow starts against blue. Green stands ready on the 23-meter line.
- Yellow scores on the goalie. Blue defends.
- When blue has taken the ball away they play the ball across the 23-meter line, into the green team's stick.
- Yellow goes to defend and green attacks. Blue gets ready on the 23-meter line.
- This is about quick turnovers. Attacking and
- red = attacker
- blue = defender
- the field is divided into 2 by cones
- red plays the ball in to blue -> blue plays the ball back to red
- then a 1 on 1 starts
- goal of blue is to force the attacker to the outside
- red's goal is to score as quickly as possible (through the middle is the quickest way)
- you cannot cross the cones line
- when the attacker arrives in the circle he/she can hit the goal
- 2 defenders not allowed out of the box.
- The attackers must try to get through the box to score.
- Overplaying past the pawns.
- When the players reach the last pawn, the last player runs around the pawn.
- And this last one is going to attack.
- The defender tries to defend it out.
- Squares are laid out where a 1 versus 1 takes place.
- Attacker, red, attacks on the goal while defender, blue, defends.
- The focus here is that the defender defends accompanying and keeps the attacker constantly on the forehand.
- Turning through: attacker becomes defender and vice versa.
Focus points:
- Keep stick still when defending -guided.
- Wait for the right moment.
- Try to guide the attacker into the corner.
- Keep the attacker constant on the forehand.
- A drives with the ball to the gate and plays the ball to B
- A meanwhile runs in the triangle first backwards and then forwards
- B passes the ball in the run to C
- C and A play 1 on 1
- Overplaying and attacking
You stand in a square and flatten the ball into a square. This is off to 2 sides. The team that scored first gets a 2nd ball and the team that was slower now has to defend the ball.
- A flattens to B
- B flattens to C
- C flattens to D
D scores and either gets a new ball or goes to defend.
- 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 players around 2 may start putting pressure on that player.
- The player at 2 must manage to find his way and attempt a pass to someone on his team; orange.
- Can player 2 give the pass, then orange attacks in a 4vs4, can white take the ball away, then white attacks in a 4vs4.
- Passing in the loop
- Do not stand still
- Actively moving from pawn to pawn
Player A plays the ball, alone, through the restricted area to player B or C.
- Players attack
- Defended by 2 defenders and a goalkeeper
- Ball and players may not pass through the restricted area
Game ends on a goal or a defending player who hit the ball over the sideline.
Goal Exercise:
Make high pressure tactics clear to a team.
Make high pressure tactics clear to a team.
- 6 vs. 6
- Setup defense is 4-2 and possible goalkeeper
- Attacking formation is 3-3.
Ball is taken out alternately by defenders and attackers.
Goal of defense
In possession of ball:
Goal of defense
In possession of ball:
- Play ball out and score in 1 of the 2 goals on the center line.
- Form triangles so that someone can always be played.
- Be able to change sides when crowded on 1 side.
No ball possession:
- Play compactly / ensure that the ball + player on the ball guide to the outside.
- Cover the inside of an attacker so that the way to the goal is covered.
Goal attack
In possession of ball:
In possession of ball:
- Attackers compact when ball is in middle of field, when ball is played away to side 1 attacker must run into corner and other 2 attackers assume scoring position in circle.
- Be able to shift ball from side when crowded on 1 side.
No ball possession:
- Attackers high pressure on ball / cover play-off opportunities.
- Midfield compact until ball is on one side and then pressure.
