Hockey drills for technique passing

• Each team has 2 goals. (see rules triple hockey).
• 3 against 3 where 5x passes is 1 point (if the ball is intercepted, start counting again).
• possibly 3 against 2 games with 1 player (trainer?)
• always with the attacking team (complicated exercise!)

• Each team has 5 inverted pylons to defend.
• The pylons are on the line and the players may only stand/defend on their own half.
• Which team knocks over the pylons of the other first.

• Player A runs towards pylon 1 or 2, whichever player B designates.
• A runs back to his starting place.
• Then A plays the ball to B.
• Player B does the same

• Run with the ball and pass the pylo, then play the ball to your fellow player.
• Take the ball on the forehand and run to the pylon and pass.
• At the end of the exercise run back to the beginning
• Change sides after every turn.

• You place 11 pylons at different distances, under each pylon you put a stack of city names.
• Each 2 tries to reach all 11 pylons as fast as possible.
• You dribble to a pylon, take a city map and take it back with you, tap the next one and it runs to another pylon.
• Each city you return to the trainer will be stamped on the 11 city card.
• Who reached the 11 cities first?

  (first practice without ball and stick)

• From the two pilons, aim (push/slide) at the inverted pilons.

1. defender 1 passes to attacker 1
2. attacker 1 to attacker 2
3. through pass from attacker 2 to attacker 1
4. defender 1 defends on attacker 1 when he has received the through pass
5. attacker 2 attacks > 2v1

• The exercise is meant to simulate a game.
• It is therefore intended that one team consists of the defenders/defending midfielders and the other team consists of the attackers.
• The attackers can score in the normal goal (decide if they can hit high as in the game).
• The defending side can score by driving the ball.
• Over the line of the goals on the half way line.   
• The attackers learn to play over and finish at goal and the defending side learns to defend to the outside.  

   

• Flat
• Open reception,
• Accelerate & push pass out of the barrel (alternate with other techniques such as stroke, push pass, backhand pass).
• A flats to B (A runs after own ball);
• B takes it open and runs around the pilon.
• B accelerates with the ball stuck to the stick and plays the ball through the gates to A.
• Resumption

open and closed receptions

• Number one calls "open" or "closed" and then plays the ball to number two.
• Number two comes running into the ball and takes it on according to what was called.
• Then number two calls "open" or "closed" and plays the ball to number three.
• Number three enters the ball and takes it on according to what was called again.
• Then number three runs over the back line into the circle and plays it at the head of the circle to number four.
• Number four finishes on target.

• put out a square as shown in the drawing.
• Make teams of 3 people.
• There must always be one pilon open.
• Start with the ball at person 1, person must always have 2 possibilities.
• If person 1 passes to person 3, person 2 must move one square.
• This is how the exercise continues.

• Passing: 
  • push, slap, hit, overhead, running lob
• Receiving:
  • FH: left hand forward, walk/run into the bal, open- closed control
  • BH: receive with a high backhand run into direction of the ball
• Note: receive always on the move
