Hockey drills for technique attack / offense
- The three attackers are going to try to pass in the box 3 times (if this is too easy make it more).
- When they have passed each other three times, they can finish on goal.
- They only have to pass the defender who is standing there.
- It then becomes a 3 on 2 with the attacker who was in the box.
- A starts with the ball and first plays the ball back to B.
- When B has accepted the ball the 3v3 starts and the defenders may start to pressure.
- Tips for the attackers:
- Use the exercise of switching the strikers
- Only play the safe ball
- Remember the 4 squares in the circle
- Tips for the defenders:
- Keep your man in the circle
- Push them to one side
- Always put pressure on the ball (i.e. don't let them shoot)
- A starts with the ball and runs towards the bar
- There he does a chop (different action if we don't have a water court)
- He accelerates towards the circle.
- B and C are ready to receive the ball from A and change places at the last moment.
- B or C receives the ball from A and then we play a 3 against 2.
- Turnover exercise with improving conditioning.
- Through the axis play out a 2-1 with shot on goal.
- On violation or goal a 3-3 on the side towards the center line.
- A guard pass is mandatory.
- 10 seconds for the 2-1 to create a shot and 10 seconds for the 3-3.
- At guard pass 3-3 the new 2-1 already starts.
- Simple give & go in 2 ways.
- Easy short finishing exercise for beginning training.
- Extendable to 2-1.
- Variant 1 - Pass sideways, vertical run with diagonal pass.
- Variant 2 - Pass sideways, diagonal run with vertical pass.
- Variation 3 - Pass sideways, diagonal run with short diagonal pass.
- Variant 4 - Setup as Variant 3 with a 2-1 in the circle.
- 4 defenders in the (build up)
- 2 midfielders
- 3 strikers
- 3 defenders (opponents) + goalkeeper in circle
- Play around from the bowl without pressure (can always be added later)
- The 2 midfielders offer themselves from the axis to the back where the ball is going.
- Not being passed to is going to the line and back to the axis.
- Not offering on the long passing line.
- Being played is opening up and then playing the hanging striker or the winger.
- After playing, continue to pass into the guard position.
- The 2 WINGER strikers offer themselves on the 23m
- The HANGING striker offers himself in the attack at the head of the circle.
- The WINGER striker on the support side looks for scoring position at the far post.
- Player RED comes out of the square and offers himself to player BLUE.
- BLUE passes to RED as he offers himself.
- Player WHITE pressures RED so it has to accept closed and plays back to BLUE (guard).
- Player RED makes an acceleration to the left or right next to the square.
- Player BLUE passes the ball to player RED looking carefully where RED asks for the ball (forehand or backhand).
- RED takes the ball open and penetrates the circle to finish on goal.
- TURN TO THE OTHER SIDE.
- RED JOINS AT STARTING POINT / BLUE JOINS IN THE SQUARE.
- Against a low press build up with 3 men.
- 2 centers and 2 wide midfielders + strikers on the back line.
- Simple high tempo finishing exercise to practice pass lines.
- 4 vs 4 across left and right.
- 3 teams of 4.
- 4 defenders + goalie vs 4 attackers.
- Defenders can score points by getting between pawns with ball (dribble).
- Attackers can score on goal.
- 3 x shoot is a penalty ball.
- Finishing on goal.
- Everyone stands on the edge of the circle and hits the ball on goal.
- This can be done with or without a small run up.
- Everyone has 2 balls.
- Party form with 2 teams and 1 goalkeeper.
- If there's an odd number of players then make 1 player (preferably a midfielder) a neutral player who always belongs to the BB team.
- The right of attack is taken over the 23 meter line by playing three times.
- The right of attack is lost only when the other side has reached the right.
- An interception does not change this.
- 3 cause penalty corner is a penalty ball (goal is to focus on effectiveness in the circle).
- 2 x 10 minutes with 5 minutes rest (match situation).
- Each team can be given an assignment such as full press / half court / put pressure on certain player when he gets the ball to improve strategy and coaching among themselves.
- Provide enough balls along the lines so that there can be a high ball tempo.
- D plays to A
- C1 runs away to position C2
- B1 gets in front of his defender at position B2
- A passes to B2
- B2 takes off and passes to D, who is coming up the sideline.
- D dynamically picks up and passes to C2
- From that moment on, the 3 vs 2 begins where A B2 and C2 build an attack in the circle against V1 and V2
- TURN TO THE OTHER SIDE
- A passes to B1
- B2 passes to C1
- C2 goes to D
