Hockeyexercises for u6

Execution

• The trainer creates two evenly matched teams.
• A regular match play is conducted, with each team defending one goal.

Points of Attention

• Play with the 3-second rule; take the ball quickly after a foul.
• If it takes longer than 3 seconds, the opposing team receives a free hit.
• Ensure there is a lot of passing between players.
• In possession, the field should be made large, and when not in possession, it should be made small.

• Improving passing.
• Improving finishing on goal.

• Use half of the playing field.
• 2 distributors (Z) and 1 goalkeeper.
• Course with one-two passes, dribbling, and finishing on goal.

• After each pass, continue running to receive the ball back from the distributor.
• Pay attention to the position of the goalkeeper before shooting on goal.

• Train different passing movements.
• Practice both leftwards and rightwards.

• Conclude the training session with a match form on a half field.
• Adjust the width of the field depending on the size of your team during the training session.

• Several exercises are set up on a quarter field.
• The players can start immediately one after the other.
• Exercises vary from slalom, dummy, herring trick to a lob.
• The goal is to focus on all techniques during the warm-up.

• Balls start at the first cone. The first player passes the ball on the run to the second cone.
• The second player pushes the ball through the cones to the third player.
• The third player runs onto the ball and continues his path.
• Then he pushes the ball to the fourth player on the run.
• The fourth player runs around the cones and passes the ball to the top of the circle.
• The fifth player has moved to the top of the circle to finish the ball directly into the goal.

• T: Give as many passes as possible within 1 minute.
• R: /
• A: Making the square bigger
• D: Passive defender

• Player blue starts with the ball at the orange pawn.
• Player blue drives the ball toward the red pawn, pulls the ball under him toward the blue pawn and then accelerates briefly with the backhand around the blue pawn.
• You do this movement three times in a row.
• Then you round on goal.
• Depending on the number of players, put the exercise out once or twice.

• Start at the orange pawn and dribble through the minefield towards the goal.
• Keep the ball close to you and try to make sure you don't hit the pawns.
• Once you are past the minefield, round off with a hit on goal.
• Plot the exercise twice, if necessary.

• Party game with two goals and a square in the middle of the field.
• The ball may not be played through the square. In that case the ball is in touch.
• So the idea is to play field hockey outside and not through the axis of the field.

• Make two equal teams; team red and team blue.
• Start with ball at orange pawn.
• Float a lap around the green pawns and place ball with hand on pawn red.
• Then run a lap around the green pawns without ball and tap the blue pawn with your hand.
• Then walk another circle around the green pawns and take the ball off the red pawn.
• Then drive a circle around the green pawns with ball and pass the ball to the next one.

• Depending on the number of players, you can have everyone take 1, 2 or 3 turns.
• Once a player has had her/his last turn, she/he sits on the floor.
• If a team has all its players sitting on the ground, they win the relay.

• The trainer has three colors of pawns in his hand. Red, white and blue.
• Player blue A takes his turn.
• Trainer first puts color pawn 1 in the air --> For example, pawn white.
• Player blue A starts running towards the edge of the circle and receives the ball from player blue ->.
• The latter then plays the ball through the white gate as the trainer thus puts the white pawn in the air.
• Player A takes the ball through the gate and rounds on goal.
• After his shot, he takes over the spot of the player who passed the ball to him.
• The trainer puts a new color pawn in the air for the next player etc.

• Players blue and red start at the same time with the ball
• Slalom around the 5 pawns --> cross --> around the green pawn and finish on goal.
• If you score, you may immediately choose the shortest path to tap your next teammate.
• If you miss; wide, post or the ball does not reach the goal, you make a detour via the red or blue pawn/triangle.
  • Players blue run back via the blue pawn and players red via the red.
• When you have been, you sit on the ground.
• The team that has all players on the ground first wins the relay.
• Depending on the number of players, you may choose to have all players take their turn twice.
• Switch sides halfway through the exercise.
