Hockey drills for technique passing
- 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.
- Put out a square of 10 by 10 meters.
- A player is placed at 3 pilons.
- One pilon remains empty.
- The player with the ball plays to the pilon without a player.
- The player standing diagonally runs to the pilon and receives the ball. And so on.
- In this way, the next goal is reached:
- a lot of movement,
- playing while running
- take it in motion.
Game with different variations:
- with grip
- with globe
- with stick in weird position
- with other balls
- 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.
- A player of Blue (1) passes the ball to e.g. player 2 of Orange. This team tries to score over the 23-metre line in a yellow goal.
- Blue interferes with the defending of the Orange and tries to capture the ball and score in the normal goal. When Blue is over the 23-metre line, the team-mate at the side-line is allowed to join the game.
- Blue substitutes with Orange after 2 goals from either team.
Tips Ball possession
- Pass with good speed and direction.
- Be available (outside of the field).
- Use the hard feint pass (flats and push).
Tips Not Ball possession
- Force the player in ball possession to the side.
- Provoke making mistakes.
- Perform a quick counter after conquering ball.
Tips Counter
- Force the player in ball possession to the side.
- Provoke making mistakes.
- Perform a quick counter after conquering ball
Make it easier
- Make the field deeper (towards the center line).
Make it more difficult
- 1 extra player per team.
- 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.
- Player 1 asks the ball in front of the pilons and receives the ball from player 3.
- At that moment player 2 grabs a ball and dribbles to the back line.
- Player 1 runs with his/her ball to the circle and finishes there.
- Then player 1 runs to the penaltyspot where he/she receives the ball from player 3.
- The ball is then finished on goal again.
- 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.
