Hockey drills for technique hitting

• A passes deep to B, B goes around behind pilons and gives the ball to A in front, A scores on goal;
• B goes back to position, offers himself and gets the ball from C. CB play a 2v1 against A;
• A enters the ball at D gets ball and plays (D, E and A) a 3v2 against CB.

Game with different variations:

• with grip
• with globe
• with stick in weird position
• with other balls

• Player A runs left towards the pilon straight ahead and retrieves the ball so that the pilon is played out. 
• Then player A passes the ball deep on to player B, who runs in.
• Player B puts the ball back to player A
• Player A finishes.

Then player A does the task of player B and vice versa. 

• Player A plays the ball to Player B, who comes running into the ball.
• Player B bounces the ball directly back and runs towards the corner edge circle with a slalom through the gates.
• Player A runs towards the first pole to perform a tip in

Exercise is set up in the middle.Player A becomes player B and vice versa.

• The trainer (T) rolls the ball (1) to one of the four front players (for example A).
• Player A receiving the ball (2) plays a duel with player V1 opposite him.
• The goal is to score the ball at the opponent's goal.
• If V1 manages to intercept the ball, he plays it to V2.
• Now V2 may try to score with player B.
• After a goal, the form of play starts over again.

Making it easier

• Play a 1-1 duel on the two fields for a few minutes, after a goal,  the substitute player comes into play.

Make it more difficult

• After the ball is taken by V1, V1 and V2 may try to score against player A (now it has become a 2-1 game).
• A has to defend. 
• If A takes the ball, he plays it to player B. 
• Player A and B play a 2-2 duel on players V1 and V2.

• It works just like a normal game only now there's a square in the middle.
• If a shot or other foul is made, or if the ball has been out of bounds, the trainer throws/plays in a new ball from inside the square.
• The ball does not necessarily go to the same team or at the place where the foul was made.
• The size of the field depends on the number of players.

• Player 1 plays the ball to player 2 after which player 1 runs through
• Player 2 bounces the ball back to Player 1,
• Player 1 aligns the ball between the pilons (The player is not going to run into the "pilon box".)

• Player 1 then finishes the ball at goal

You can speed up this exercise by placing the mirrored exercise on the other side, allowing you to play from 2 sides.

Aim:

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

Set up:

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.

1. The players 1 start with the ball and play it to their players 2. Then they change positions.

2. Players 2 play the ball back to players 1 and also change positions.

Variations:

• You can vary the way of passing (hitting, push, flats)
• Increase the distance between the pilons that players only has to run further.
• Increase the distance between the pilons that players have to pass over longer distances
• Increase both distances.
• Increase speed.
• Make as many successful passes as possible in time.

Points of attention:

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

• Person 1 dribbles with the ball, does a 3D trick 
• and passes a backhand to player 2 while running. 
• Player 2 passes the ball to player 3 in the run. 
• He dribbles along the obstacles and does a 3D trick at the end, 
• Then player 3 hits the goal with a backhand shot.

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.

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.

• Put out gates of pilons (2 meters wide). from sideline to sideline.
• Players get 3 balls on the sideline
• any ball they can pass through a gate
• In advance, the player indicates which gate he is going to play through
• Each gate has points, the further the gate the higher the points:
• 10 Meter gate = 1 point
• 15 meter gate =5 points
• 20 meter gate = 10 points
• 30 meter gate is =20 points
• 40 meter gate = 30 points
• See how many points each player scores, this makes it clear to the players that a long-distance pass is often not very accurate.
• In addition, you can show that pushing and flatting can be much more convenient than hitting.
• You can put (depending on the level) a square of 3M x3M on the field and if the players score and the ball lands in the square it is worth 50 points.

  
  

  
  

• You start with 3 teams, A, B and C. 
• The game will be played on about half a field, 
• the ball divider/referee is in the centre of the field in a marked square, 
• this square can't be played through. 
• There is a goalkeeper in the goal and two goals on the half way line. 
• Team A starts defending, 
• team B is attacking, 
• team C is divided over the 2 small goals.
• Team A has to make sure the ball reaches team C. 
• At this moment team B is defending and attacking team C.
