Hockey drills for technique passing

• 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 

• Purpose; passing over large distances, while running. Finishing and tackleback.
• A plays long pass to B, 
• B drives the ball to the right and plays through to C who shoots at goal. 
• Once the shot has been completed, the next player on A passes to D
• and D starts a dribble towards the goal (scoring past penalty spot), 
• C defends this attack.
• Rotation: A1BCDA2

• Defender plays the ball to the right back. 
• Right half pulls in and right front goes deep. 
• Defender gives a deep pass on the right front. 
• Right front turns away and plays the ball back on the midfielder. 
• Midfielder puts the ball back on the other central defender who comes in. 
• Pass to left back and then perform the same exercise as over right.

• 1 plays the ball using the bar to 2

  2 runs in, controls the ball, moves towards the axis of the pitch and plays via the bar to 3

  3 runs in, takes on and plays to the running-through number 2

  2 Takes on and shoots (high) on target

  
  

  
  

  Same for 4,5,6 if there are enough players for that

  
  

  Press and hold 1-2-3-1 (or 1-2-3-4-5-6-1)

• 3 persons stand at the pilons and try not to let the player in the middle touch the ball. 
• It is important that the diagonal pass is not made possible. 
• So the players without the ball have to stand in the corners compared to the player with the ball.
