Hockeyexercises for u12

Make 3 equal teams.
One team starts as defenders in the circle, one team starts as attackers in the circle and the other team starts outside the circle as a bowl.

The goal is for the bowl to pass to each other at tempo and to play to the attackers in the circle. 
It is important for the bowl to pre-scan before they receive the ball and to already know where the attackers are or will be in the circle.The 
rest of the team then does not participate in the attack, but can get the ball back and then it starts over again.

1 defender is allowed out of the circle to pressure the bowl. the rest of the defenders stay in the circle. 
If the defenders take the ball away, they can score in one of the two goals on the side of the
circle.

2 Teams

  • Teams play ball possession.
  • Score point by playing in 'Chameleon', get back, move to other side, play in other 'Chameleon' and get back.

drawing Ball possession
We play 3:3 where the emphasis is on communicating with each other attacking and defending, 
how are you going to stand and how are you going to run free for the other?
 
A,B,C belong together. The first ball goes to B from there the 3:3 starts.

The defenders are going to put pressure on the ball and don't want the attackers through the axis in any case so make sure it is closed. 
When they have conquered the ball, they score in the little goaltop at the side of the field.

drawing 3 against 3 over right
  • A starts with the ball, B comes offering forward and gets the ball from A on his forehand.
  • B takes the ball with a lift action over the pawns. When B has done this a 2:1 is played.
  • B and C belong together and play against the defender standing in the circle.
  • The defender tries to take the ball away and score in the goal on the side.
The exercise can be done on both sides, but please check with each other that we are not playing with 2 players in the circle.

drawing Lift receiving from the left
  • A starts with the ball and gives a hard aimed push/ flats to B.
  • B takes the ball and plays it back to the passed A.
  • A gives a hard aimed push to C. This may be a ball just into C's stick but may also be a tip ball allowing C to put the ball into the goal with a tip-in.
  • Plot exercise on two sides.
