Hockey drills for technique passing
- Player 1 plays the ball towards the blue pilon
- Player 2 walks around the blue pilon towards player 3
- Player 2 takes the ball with the backhand and plays the ball to player 3.
- Player 3 controls open and plays the ball to player 4
- Player 4 plays the ball towards the blue pilon
- Player 5 runs around the blue pilon towards player 6
- Player 5 takes the ball with the backhand and plays the ball to player
- Player 6 takes the ball in closed and round on the forehand or takes the ball open and round or on the backhand
- You can extend this exercise on 2 sides towards the other goal
- Too few players?
- Eliminate pilon 3
- Player 1 passes the ball in the forehand to player 2.
- Player 2 takes the ball open/closed and passes it to player 3.
- Player 3 takes the ball open/closed and passes it to player 4.
- Player 4 takes the ball open/closed and passes it to player 5.
- Player 5 takes the ball open/closed and passes the ball to player 6.
- Player 6 takes the ball open/closed and runs to the back line along the blue pilons and passes the ball to player 7.
- Player 7 finishes off on goal.
- Fewer players?
- Remove a few pilons.
- Points of attention:
- Pay attention to posture while assuming
- Tight passes in the forehand
- Player 1 passes the ball to player 2, player 1 walks halfway to the red pilon of player 2.
- Player 2 passes the ball back to player 1.
- Player 2 moves on to the blue pilon, player 1 passes the ball to player 2.
- Player 2 passes the ball to player 3 on the red pilon, player 2 walks halfway to the red pilon of player 3.
- Player 3 passes the ball back to player 2.
- Player 3 passes the ball to the blue pilon, player 2 passes the ball to the passed player 3.
- Continue until player 7 can finish on goal.
- Points of attention:
- Tight passing
- Always keep looking at the ball
- Good attitude for open assumption
- Player 1 passes the ball to player 2.
- Player 1 runs through to create a triangle between player 1,2 and 3.
- Player 2 passes the ball to player 1 who ran in, player 1 passes the ball to player 3.
- Player 2 runs through to create a triangle between player 2, 3 and 4
- Player 3 passes the ball to player 2, player 2 passes the ball to player 4.
- This is repeated until the ball reaches player 6, player 6 shoots on goal.
- Easier:
- Put the pilons further apart and possibly put flaps on the spot where the player has to run to when he/she has to run in
- More difficult:
- Move the pilons closer together.
- There are 2 passers on the PC points on the back line to the right and left of the goal.
- The player starts behind the 25 yard line, receives the ball from the left, gets the ball to the semi-circle and then has to score.
- This player then sprints past the penalty mark, then sprints back behind the 25 yard line, and then has to run back towards the goal to receive the pass from the other attacker (right) and do the same (scoring, sprint past the strokepunt/puntball point and back to the 25 yard line)
- Keeper on target
- Place 2 gates of pilons on the 23-metre line (the gates are on the left and right side of the goalposts)
- Player red starts on the head circle and accelerates with ball through the gates.
- Immediately after passing the gates, red passes to blue.
- Red sprints around a pilon to put pressure and/or take the ball away from blue.
- After receiving the ball, blue accelerates with ball and runs through the gates.
- If blue passes through the gates, red is not allowed to take the ball and has to go back to the pilon.
- Blue accelerates into the head circle and shoots at the goal.
- Make a triangle with pilons (2 meters between each pilon).
- Player red starts with ball at the pilon 5 meters away from the triangle.
- Player red passes to player blue while he dynamically moves towards and around the triangle.
- Player blue pivots the ball and plays the ball to player white.
- Player white plays the ball back to the starting point (red).
- During the exercise, each player runs behind his/her ball.
- The game starts with a pass from player 1 to player 2
- Player two gives a clean pass along the line
- Whereupon player 3 runs towards the line to receive the ball with a backhand
- Player 4 runs along the pilon and positions himself on the top of the circle or continues running by the tip.
- A passes the ball to B
- B passes the ball back to A
- B runs wide and gets a hard targeted pass from A
- B receives the ball, aligns the ball and finishes on goal
- Then he runs towards the goal and gets a hard ball from C
- B causes the ball to change direction by a tip-in
- A stands in the box with her back facing towards the back line
- B calls a colour either Blue or Orange
- A runs first to the front pilon and taps the pilon. She then runs to the other same coloured pilon and runs around it.
- B runs a bit with the ball and gives a straight ball to A
- A controls the ball while running and takes the ball to the circle and lines up and shoots.
- The same on the other side
- Put out the columns as shown in the figure
- Spread the balls over pylon C and D.
- In this exercise you place a player at pylon C and D.
- The rest of the team will line up at pylon A.
- From A onwards, the player walks around the pylon
- From the post, the player makes a sideways movement facing the ball (facing C).
- Player C plays the ball in the forehand of A
- A takes the ball and turns right open
- A runs in the direction of the circle and finishes at goal.
- From here he runs to D and receives another ball.
- The player turns open to the left and finishes on goal again.
- Pass the ball to a fellow player under/over the pylons with stick.
- Passes: push, slide and flats.
- Stick at different heights
- increase distance between each other
- pylons closer together (gate smaller)
- Perform the exercise with groups of three
