Hockey drills for technique warming-up

• With the different materials you can make nice courses.
• A course is a fun and fast way to get the children to repeat their skills.
• It is also possible to make courses with a certain theme.
• Possible themes are: drifting, slalom, passing, playing high, making tempo.
• The arrows and traffic signs can be used in all sorts of exercises in a course and in relays.
• Here are some examples of possible courses

• The catcher must try to catch the others.
• When you are tagged, you stand with your legs apart and your arms crossed.
• Without the ticker knowing, the group has appointed a secret saviour;
• He may redeem the ticked by secretly tapping them.
• The game stops when the secret deliverer is caught.

• Make two teams.
• The goal is to get the ball to the other side of the line.
• You do this by standing in plank position and then pushing the ball to the other person who is standing further down in plank position.
• Then you run to the front and stand in a holding position and wait for the ball to come.
• The team that gets to the other side first wins.

• Players stand with their backs to each other.
• At a distance of 10 m from each player stands a pawn with a ball on it.
• At the whistle or START, the players run to the pawn, both grab the ball, run back to each other and hand each other the ball.
• Then the players run to the pawn with the new ball and place the ball on it.
• Then they both run back to the middle and finish with their backs to each other.
• It is possible to do this in a relay race or several times in a row.

• 2 equal teams, or in case of odd numbers with a joker,
• try to keep the players on the team for as long as possible.
• This can be done through short replay, the duel and then replay.

• Someone runs in from the red, takes the ball in the run and runs away strongly,
• he/she plays it to the other person who is standing near red.
• Green comes running in, takes the ball in the run and turns away strongly, playing to the other person who is standing near green.

• give each other the right arm and bend your knees in a sitting position.
• idem left arm

• Two pairs shake hands in a crossed position (see photo) and kneel down in the sitting position.

• 2 opposite each other, bend their knees in the sitting position and come up and kick forward with the left and right leg alternately.

• 2 pawns face each other,
  • at a random distance (depends on whether you want to push or flatten, for example).
• Player 1 and 3 stand with pawn A.
• Player 2 stands at pawn B.
• 1 plays the ball to player 2,
• 2 receives the ball.
• After player 1 passes the ball, he runs after his ball towards pion B.
• When player 2 has passed again he runs in the direction of pion A.
• etc. etcde
• You can play this exercise with minimum 3 players, maximum 5 otherwise the intensity will be very low.

• Players divided into two groups on one side of the field.
• Two rows of cones next to each other.
• Players pass the ball back and forth while walking past the cones.
• Variations
  • Individuals keep ball high along a row of cones, both groups independent of each other.
  • Passing the ball two by two
  • Individually dribble two balls at the same time, slalom through the cones
  • Pass the ball and dribble a second ball at the same time (player says yes).
  • Three of you play over 2 balls to the other side.

Goal

• To regain that ball feeling and get back into the swing of things.

Set up

• The players form pairs
• and they stand opposite each other on a few meters (5 for example).
• Then they start pushing each other.
• At a certain moment, they take some more distance and start flattening.
