Hockey drills for technique hitting
Minefield
- Start at the orange pawn and dribble through the minefield towards the goal.
- Keep the ball close to you and try to make sure you don't hit the pawns.
- Once you are past the minefield, round off with a hit on goal.
- Plot the exercise twice, if necessary.
- 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
- B runs towards the 23 where it receives a ball in the run from A
- B runs through the pawn lines to the circle and hits the goal
- C runs towards the 23 where he receives a ball in the run from A
- C continues behind the last pawn lines towards the circle and hits the goal
Three color game

- Player blue A takes his turn.
- Trainer first puts color pawn 1 in the air --> For example, pawn white.
- Player blue A starts running towards the edge of the circle and receives the ball from player blue ->.
- The latter then plays the ball through the white gate as the trainer thus puts the white pawn in the air.
- Player A takes the ball through the gate and rounds on goal.
- After his shot, he takes over the spot of the player who passed the ball to him.
- The trainer puts a new color pawn in the air for the next player etc.
