Exercise on target

Superslalom.

You can perform this slalom in 4 different ways:
  1. Normal slalom: player and ball move forward through the gates.
  2. Player keeps moving to the left of the gates and has the ball on the right side of his body.
  3. Player continues to move to the right of the gates and has the ball on the left side of his body.
  4. Player moves to the left of the first gate and ball passes on the right, player moves to the right of the second gate and ball passes on the right. The player continues to alternate this until the end of the slalom.
After the slalom, the player rounds the ball on goal and rejoins the back of the line.

Exercise on target

Handball -one touch-.
  • Player blue begins to move in a lateral direction. So the initiative lies with this player.
  • Player red pushes the ball straight to player blue.
  • Player blue rebounds the ball sideways.
  • Player red has moved on, takes the ball and scores.
  • Having scored, you rebound and visa versa.
Points of attention:
  • Player blue must make sure he is well turned in at the time of handball.
  • Make sure you have your stick well in front of your body at the moment of handball.
  • Also pay extra attention when rounding on goal, preferably a flat.

Exercise on target

Dummy:
  • The player does three passes behind the dummy and rounds on target.
  • You can also do this exercise in relay form (do emphasize the proper execution of the exercise and not the speed).
Points of attention:
  • With the dummy, it is important that you pretend to pass to the left, but eventually accelerate right around the pawn.
  • Make sure you step out well with your left foot and pass the ball well under you.
  • After your move, accelerate briefly to the next double pawn.

Exercise on target

Relay
  • Create two equal teams.
  • Start the relay at the coach's signal.
  • The player slaloms around the pawns -both ball and body around the pawns- and rounds on goal -push or flush-.
  • If the player scores, he may immediately sprint back and tap the next player.
  • If the player misses, he must take a detour via the blue pawn -on the side of the field- and then sprint back and tap the next player.
  • When it's your turn, you sit down on the ground.
  • Depending on the number of players, you can also choose to have all players take 2 or 3 turns.
  • The next player may not start until he is tapped by the player in front of him.
  • The team that has all players on the ground first wins the relay.
  • There are different types of slalom to apply in this exercise:
    • Normal slalom
    • Slalom in which the player's body and ball are to the left or right of the row of pawns.
    • Slalom where the ball is to the left of the row of pawns and the body is to the right.
