Hockey drills for technique hitting

  • A pushes to B
  • B passes to C
  • C drives around the pawns into the circle
  • C rounds on goal
Option 1: B runs into the circle and gets the ball from C and rounds on goal.

Option 2: additional player D stands at the second post and tips in.

drawing Impact over left
  • A plays the ball to B
  • B plays the ball to C
  • C plays the ball to D
  • D dribbles into the circle and finishes on goal
drawing Assumptions for 2 touch field hockey
  • A plays the ball to B
  • B plays the ball to C who has run up to the green pawns
  • C runs along the pawn line and passes the ball to A who has run through to the circle
  • A then finishes on goal
You can perform this exercise on both sides.

drawing Routing and construction through left and right
  • Dribbling from A to B.
  • Pass to the player who is ready
  • Player who delivered the ball sprints toward goal, player with ball plays deep
  • Sprinting player hits the goal in the run
drawing Dribbling - finishing on goal
  • A push the ball to B.
  • B takes the ball and push the ball back to the wide running A.
  • A takes the ball and push it through to the in-running C.
  • C takes the ball and push/flats the ball deep to D.
  • D takes the ball and and runs across the back line.
  • D gives a 90-degree pass to the run-through B.
  • B takes the ball and hits on goal.
drawing Adoption in the loop
  • Use pilons to set up two squares 
  • Around the dotted head circle (left and right next to/opposite the goal)

Aim:

  • To become physically as well as technically warm as preparation for the training.


Design:

  • The exercise will be done with a maximum of 4 people. 
  • Of course you can put a multiple of these so that the exercise still works.
    • The players 1 start with the ball and play it to their players 2. Then they change positions.
    • Players 2 play the ball back to players 1 and also change positions.


entering-in-motion

Variations:

  • You can vary the way of passing (hitting, push, flats)
  • Increase the distance between the pilons so that one only has to walk further.
  • Increase the distance between the pilons so that one only has to move on.
  • Increase both distances.
  • Increase speed
  • Make as many successful passes as possible in time.


Points of attention:

  • Sit low for good control.
  • Stick to the ground at ball control.
  • Play ball on the forehand side.
  • Stand still at ball acceptance.



Passing and scoring

  • Each pilon has a player on it.
  • Player A plays wide to the left to player B and chases the ball.
  • Player B plays the ball diagonally to the right to player C and chases the ball
  • Player C plays wide to the left to player D and chases the ball
  • Player D plays diagonally to the right the ball to player E and chases after the ball
  • Player E takes on and scores with flat / stroke
  • Player E continues to the left around the extra pilons (out of practice) back to position A

Variation:

  • Balls start on the left from position B (pilon/position A is omitted), before that a pilon is added to the edge circle (position F).
  • player 1 plays the ball from position B diagonally to the right to player 2 at position C and chases the ball
  • Player on C plays wide to left to player in position D and chases after the ball
  • Player in position D plays the ball diagonally to the right to player E and chases after the ball
  • Player in position E plays wide to the left to player in position F and chases the ball
  • Player in position F takes on the fh or high bh and scores with a (backhand) stroke and
  • Runs outside the exercise to start position (B)


Variation 2:

  • 2 rows of players behind pilons A and B
  • Player 1 plays the ball wide to the left and runs straight to position C
  • player 2 takes the ball and plays player 1 diagonally to the right in the fh while running (towards position C) and runs straight ahead towards position D.
  • player 1 takes the ball in the fh around position C and plays the ball wide / backwards back to player 2 (towards position D) and runs to position E
  • player 2 takes the ball (preferably with fh) and with foot position in direction E and plays the ball diagonally forward back to player 1 (direction E: rather just in the circle / edge circle than behind player 1)
  • player 1 takes on and strikes / fats as fast as possible towards goal (do not bring the ball back) and runs outside exercise back to position B


Variation on 2:

  • After that player 2 has delivered the ball to player 1 the 2nd time / last time, he / she becomes (passive) defender at the next set
  • the defender is not allowed to go into the circle (or rather not even behind the line (position C/D) from where he/she started (position D)
  • takes off the ball then floats over a line between position A and B.
  • The 2 players that come up stay inside the box (width of pass lines) but are free in construction, they may also cross behind, cross over but no passes in the air (no lifts).
  • the No. 1 scores and, just like the defender, runs outside back to another position. The No. 2 becomes defender


Accents:

  • hands apart while controlling
  • foot positioning open
  • control it for a follow-up pass or even a quick bounce back
  • Score after 2 contacts (control, max 1 other touch) 
    • see hands/feet position/distance from the ball at hitting and flats accents
  • 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
drawing Bouncing the ball
  • A pushes or B
  • B passes alternately to C or D.
  • They round on goal.
drawing Strike left or right
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.
drawing Exercise on target
  • 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.
