Hockeyexercises for technique warming-up

• Pairs stand facing each other with a ball between them.
• Players stand with their hands on their back.
• As soon as "BALL" is called, they try to grab the ball as quickly as possible.
• The one who grabs the ball first is the winner.

• Start without a ball and perform the exercises to improve speed and agility.
• Repeat the exercises with a ball to test the same skills under pressure.

• 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.

Objective

• To warm up both physically and technically as preparation for the training session.

Setup

• The exercise is performed with a maximum of 4 players.
• You can set up multiple groups so that the exercise continues to function effectively.
• Players 1 start with the ball and pass it to players 2. Then they switch positions.
• Players 2 pass the ball back to players 1 and also switch positions.

Variations

• Vary the method of passing (hitting, pushing, slapping).
• Increase the distance between the cones so that players have to run further.
• Increase the distance between the cones so that players have to hit further.
• Increase both distances.
• Increase the speed.
• Deliver as many successful passes as possible within the time limit.

Key Points

• Stay low for good control.
• Stick should already be on the ground when receiving the ball.
• Pass the ball to the forehand side.
• Stand still when receiving the ball.

Execution

• Players stand back-to-back.
• At a distance of 10 metres from each player, there is a cone with a ball on it.
• At the whistle or the command "START!", players run to the cone.
• They each pick up the ball, run back to each other, and hand the ball to one another.
• Subsequently, players walk with the new ball to the cone and place the ball on it.
• They both walk back to the centre and finish back-to-back.
• Optionally, this can be done in relay form or multiple times in succession.

• There is one more cone than the number of players.
• After passing the ball, run to the empty cone.

• Various technical forms to warm up with.

• The setup can be either one-sided or two-sided, depending on the number of players.
• At point A, the player performs a drag movement and passes the cones.
• The player passes to point B.
• At point B, the player receives the ball and dribbles to point C.
• From there, he plays to the player at point C.
• The player at point C receives the ball, turns towards the goal, and finishes.
• After finishing, the player runs after the ball.
• Point D joins again at point A.

• One-sided or two-sided setup possible.
• Use the exercise to warm up the goalkeeper.
• At point C, sides can be switched.
• Play the exercise from both sides.

• Observe and improve various techniques of the players.
• When turning and dribbling, the ball should stay on the stick.
• Ensure players do not hinder each other at point C.
• All balls are played to the forehand of teammates.

• Warm up through a combination of passing, running, and receiving on the move and from a standstill.

• The player at position A passes the ball straight to the player at position B.
• The player at position B passes the ball to the player at position C and runs towards point A.
• The player at position C receives the ball at point D and passes it to point A.
• For rotation, player A moves to B, B goes via D to C, and C moves to A.

• Variations in striking techniques can be applied (hit, push, slap).
• Distances can be adjusted to vary the difficulty level.
• Cones can be placed for passing in between to increase precision.
• Smaller cones increase the difficulty level.
• The ball from C to D can be rebounded.
• The ball from D to A can be rebounded.
• Point C can be placed on the other side for backhand and forehand variation.
• With a 90-degree setup of points B and C, the exercise can be performed from a different angle.
• Different scenarios can be set up to vary the exercise: standard, mirrored, 90-degree setup.

• As a trainer, observe the different techniques of the players.
• Stay low when receiving.
• When passing the ball from C to D, ensure the ball does not overshoot towards A.
• The player from B must receive the ball perpendicularly.
• Pass to the forehand whenever possible.
• Be ready to receive a ball (low to the ground, stick on the ground).

• 1 team to the right of the circle
• 1 team to the left of the circle

• One player from each team will stand at the blue pot and on the 23 meter line at the orange pots.
• The rest of the teams start at the red pots.
• The ball passes through a push from the red to the blue and from the blue to the orange pots.
• When the player at the orange potty receives the ball, this player dribbles until he is in the circle and then finishes on goal.

• Make 2 teams
• From each team, 1 player runs with a colored hat and places it in a hoop
• When the first player returns the 2nd player of the team starts, then the 3rd.
• When there is 1 hat of each color the 4th player may move a colored hat to get 3 in a row.
