Three color game
- 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.
- Player blue 1 plays the ball with a controlled push or flats diagonally onto the forehand of player red 2.
- Player red 2 takes the ball on the forehand and rounds on goal.
- Player red 1 plays the ball with a controlled push or flats diagonally onto the backhand of player blue 2.
- Player blue 2 takes the ball on the backhand and rounds on goal.
Points of focus:
- The focus in this exercise is on the approach.
- Make yourself small when making the approach.
- Try to pick up the pace of the ball.
- Let the ball roll past you and take the ball as late as possible.
- Make sure that the ball does not rise when taking it on. So keep your stick straight and not angled.
- Position play 0 against 0
- Then 3 against 1
Two touches
- Player red pushes the ball to player blue, player blue to player white and player red 2. Players may touch the ball a maximum of two times.
- Player red 2 takes the ball and rounds on goal. Preferably a flat.
- After your pass, move on to the next pawn. The player who rounded on goal joins the back of the line again.
Points of attention:
- Because the player is allowed to touch the ball a maximum of two times, the ball must be right at once when taking it on. So make sure the player concentrates extra well on the takeover.
- Set out the exercises two or three times depending on the number of players.
- Make pairs and place the pawns closer and closer together.
- Players red and blue stand close together and tap the ball up and down between the pawns.
- You start with a 2-touch so assume -> pass, maximum 2 touches.
- If the ball hits a pawn, a pawn is skipped or a player touches the ball more than 2 times, you are out.
- If you are finished, start the exercise again.
- If you have made it to the end of the pawn row a number of times, try everything in 1-touch -no more than 1 touch, that is.
- Is this also successful, you can keep track of time -> Improve your record each time.
