Hockey drills for technique warming-up

• Groups of 2 in a row.
• There is one tagger and one runner.
• The one who has to run away, because otherwise he will be tapped, will quickly stand in front of 2.
• The last one of these two has to run away quickly in order not to be tapped, because 3 is too much! If you get tapped, you become the tagger.

• 1 or 2 taggers.
• On the spot where you are tapped, the tagger must hold his hand, for example, a hand on his shoulder.
• With the other hand another has to be tapped.

• One tagger has a stick in one hand and taps with his other hand.
• The tagged player will then hold the stick with it and also tap with it.
• The tagger must not let go of the stick.
• If there is a large group, assign two or more taggers.

• 1 player has a stick and a tagger is assigned;
• only the player who has the stick may be tapped, so the stick is always passed on quickly (vertically for safety reasons and do not throw it!).
• If the tagger doesn't have a chance, add more than one stick to the game.

• There are 3 or 4 gates in the indicated area.
• To score a point you have to pass the ball to a team-mate through a gate.
• After scoring, the other player can score if they are in possession of the ball.

• Everybody's got an inverted pylon he puts in the area.
• Everyone protects his own pylon and tries to shoot another pylon (the owner gets a penalty point; who has the most/least penalty point after 5 minutes?).

• Run towards goal, play the ball to the left towards the trainer, the trainer plays the ball back into the runner's stick.
• After receiving the ball, he finishes on target.

• 2 groups of 5 hoops.
• All 5 children are standing at a hoop
• One of the kids has the ball and starts pushing to each other.
• Which group is the first to play the ball 3 times around (counterclockwise).
• Of course you can also have 2 groups of 4

• The group is divided into 2 groups ( try boys who have to play together in the game across the board (far-mid or all defenders; all midfielders,...))

Playing field : 1/4 of the field over the entire width of the field.

• Exercise : The toss determines which team has ball possession.
• This group tries to visit all the houses on the playing field, after each visit the group has to get a key from the goalkeeper who is standing in a box in the middle of the field.
• You get the key by playing the goalkeeper and he has to kick the ball back to a member of the group.
• The house has to be approached by at least 3 people.
• Then a group member may stand in the house and receive the ball and play it back.
• The team may NOT have someone in the house in advance. 
• Everything goes on time.
• After group 1, group 2 starts. 
• Group 2 has to improve the time of group 1...
• The second version is with defense by the other group. 
• Who scores the most houses in 10 minutes. 
• Scoop is allowed in free space... houses may not be defended by a team...  A house = a square with 4 pilons...
  
  

The flower (without or with ball):

• start at pilon 1 > to the center of the flower
• hitting each of the 4 surrounding pilons 1 by 1
• run back to pilon 1
• variations:
  • with stick and ball
  • relay race

• The group is positioned in the four corners of the field.
• One who tags has to wear a party ribbon
• On a sign, they cross the field in three directions of their choice:
• the short side, the long side or diagonal.
• This results in one, two or three points each time they return.
• A tagger operates in the free space and obliges the tagged children to first go back to their corner before they may cross again.
• How many points can you score in a set time?

• The group is lined up on the short side of the field for a relay. 
• On a sign they all run to the other side at the same time and try to sit down as soon as possible in a random order.
• Which line-up will be the first to sit down?
• Variation
• Varying start and end positions.
• Touching a line on the opposite side, returning and sitting in line again.
