Hockeyexercises for technique defense
- Attacker on the ball runs up and does a reverse.
- Passes to attacker 2.
- 2 vs. 2 starts.
- A runs around the pawns with the ball and pushes to B
- B passes to C
- C drives around the pawns into the circle and passes to B who has run into the circle
- Defender D comes into action B and C try to score
Option 1: Extra defender and A attacks with him.
- A starts with a ball and drives into the circle and rounds off
- B plays when A has rounded a ball to V1
- From here the 2 versus 2 starts
- When A and B conquer the ball, they can score in one of the goals on the side
- We always play 2 against 2
- Group 1 plays against group 2
- Group 3 stands ready with a ball, if the ball is out, or scored, group 3 may start, Group 1 then enters that box to defend
- Group 1 against group 3
- Group 4 is ready with a ball, ball out, or scored, group 4 starts with the ball and writes group 3 to defend
- Group 3 against group 4
- And so on
- A has the ball and does over the three pawns and chop
- She then plays a 1 vs 1 against B
- B tries to capture the ball and then drive the ball through the gate on the 23-yard line
- 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
- A plays the ball wide to B, who is ready to receive the ball
- B takes the ball and drives toward the box where they play a 1 vs. 1 against A who is ready to defend
- A starts with the ball and plays it back to B first.
- When B has taken the ball the 3-on-3 starts and the defenders may start pressuring.
- Tips for the attackers:
- Use the practice of switching the strikers.
- Play only the safe ball.
- Remember the 4 squares in the circle.
- Tips for the defenders:
- Keep your man/woman in the circle.
- Push them to one side.
- Always put pressure on the ball so don't let them shoot.
- 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.
- Putting pressure on the bowl in positional play
- Covering the pass line and running line
- Position play 0 against 0
- Then 3 against 1
- A starts with the ball
- A gives 2 passing options
- A plays the ball to B
- B takes the ball
