Hockey drills for technique ball control

• Exercise with different lift passes.
• A runs to the bar and passes over the bar and gives a pass to B.
• B runs towards the ball and gives a lift pass to A. 
• A has gone through to take the ball from B.
• A gives a hard flat towards C. 
• C comes in front of the bar and lifts the ball in a movement over the beam bar accelerates towards the circle.
• C ball on the stick enters the circle.
• Aligning ball and shooting at goal 

• This is a basic exercise in preparation. 
• Just like a tennis player who prepares for training with basic strokes, the players must prepare for the complex training and competition forms, with direct simple passes on top of each other. 
• In this way, the trainer has the ability to see technical errors in each individual player and correct them as early as the basic exercise. 
• The players pass the ball directly between two pylons and walk counter-clockwise to the other side. 
• The size of the target and the distance between the players will be adjusted according to the age and level of the players.

• Two solving exercises that you can both do for 10 minutes
• Also first the explanation of the tip-in exercise
• B starts running around the pilons and accelerates when he reaches the goal towards A.
• A gives a hard facing pass towards the goal
• B tip the ball so that it changes direction
• Then they change places
• Other exercise
• We are going to practice walking in out
• A is a right behind who wants to play the ball somewhere. B is the middle right and he is going to run one in out. 
• He starts in the middle of the field and wants to offer himself for A.
• He accelerates towards the sideline A may choose whether he wants to give the ball or not.
• If he doesn't give the ball, A finishes his line further and comes back to where he started and then runs again on another in-out. 
• If A passes, B takes the ball and is allowed to score on the goaltender.

• A starts with the ball one gives a facing pass to B
• B goes through the pilons with a vision dribble
• A runs into the depth and gets a hard targeted pass of B into the depth
• B accelerate around the pilons and give a 90 degree pass on A
• A runs in the direction of the circle and at the height of B so she can receive a 90 degree pass.
• She takes the ball and lines it up and finishes with a hit on goal

• Exercise expand on both sides
• A gives a push to B
• B takes the ball closed because defender D is in his back. 
• B accelerates dribbling with the ball on the stick along the pilons, D runs with B because he doesn't want B to go along.
• D may try to conquer the ball when B has passed the pilons.
• B wants to pass the ball to C. If D intercepts, he passes the ball to C so that the person can continue with the exercise. 
• If B gets the ball to C, C will do the same and the defender E will defend. If E picks up the ball, he can finish at the goal. 
• How to continue, A goes to the spot of B, B goes to the spot of D, D goes to the spot of C, C goes to the spot of E and E goes to the spot of A.
• Tips for the attackers
  • Keep the ball close to you and screen it with your stick
  • Pass the ball over the backhand side of your opponent
  • Accelerate to make it harder for the defender to stop you
• Tips for the defenders
  • Keep your stick on the ground, you can react much faster to what your opponent is doing
  • Keep your opponent on the forehand and make sure the line is closed!
  • Let the attacker make the mistake and then grab the pass.
  • Guide your opponent in the direction where you want him/her to go 

• Exercise expand on both sides. 
• A and B start running at the same time, 
• A dribbles with the ball on the stick around the pilon. 
• B runs in and asks A for the ball.
• A makes eye contact and pushes the ball to B
• B controls the ball closed
• Then dribbles the bars and do two elevator actions over the bars
• Aligns the ball and finishes with a hit on goal.

• Expansion to practice with the tip-in. 
• Furthermore, it is practiced with the hard and pure pass to each other.
• A pushes the ball to B on the forehand pay attention to the technique (hands apart, left foot in front, force from all over your body, arms moving in the direction you are going).
• B pushes the ball back to A
• A pushes to C, C back to A
• A pushes to D and D back to A
• When B has played the ball back to A he turns around and goes around the pilon and calls to receive the ball. 
• A takes the ball from D and gives a hard pass towards E.
• E makes eye contact with the incoming B and gives a directed pass (may be push or pass).
• B takes the ball open, aligns it up and finishes with a hit on goal.
• After shooting, he accelerates around the pilons to run a tip-in ball. F makes eye contact with B and gives a hard targeted pass just as if he is going to score. B causes the ball to change direction.

• Player 1 runs with the ball to the white pilon, player 2 runs without the ball to the white pilon.
• Player 2 rounds off on goal (with backhand).
• Player 1 runs around the pilon where player 2 started and runs to the center of the circle.
• As soon as player 1 has played the ball to player 2, player 3 may start. Player 3 plays the ball to player 4.
• Player 4 runs around the white pilon and plays the ball (with backhand) to player 1 who has run into the circle.

  
  

Make 2 teams. 

• Both teams have their 'own' course, where they can score points (for example by playing over 5 times in their own course).
• The other team is allowed to conquer the ball in the other box, but not everyone from the other team is allowed to enter the other box.
  • The number of players of the other team -1.
• As soon as blue has captured the ball, blue will go to his own square as soon as possible and will play over there as often as possible.
• There may be 3 players of red in the blue box. 
• See example: in team red there are 4 players, so 3 players of blue are allowed to enter the red box.

• Goal: to show the player when it is best to pass and when it is best to push.
• In case of a long pass you pass, in case of a short pass you push.
• Player 1 passes (long pass) the ball to player 2
• Player 2 pushes (short pass) the ball to player 3.
• Player 3 passes (long pass) the ball to player 4.
• Player 4 pushes (short pass) the ball to player 5.
• Player 5 passes (long pass) the ball to player 6.
• Player 6 pushes (short pass) the ball to player 7.
• Player 7 runs along the red pilons to the back line and passes (long pass) the ball to player 8, who has entered the circle.
• When explaining the exercise, you can let the player fill in whether it's a long or short pass and what kind of stroke you use, this way they will actively think about it and will apply it earlier in the game.

• Ball possession in smaller teams
• Goals is to keep an eye on each other and passing in the forehand of your team mate and passing over the backhand of your opponent.

• Exercise with a buildup over right with tip-in variation in it. 
• A Wants to play a free ball and there is a lot of pressure at the front. So the ball is played back to B
• B takes the ball while running makes eye contact with the running C which takes the ball and makes eye contact with the running A again.
• A takes the ball open and floats with the ball on the stick at a high speed towards the back line. 
• Makes eye contact with the passed C and gives a 90 degree pass in advance. 
• C takes the ball and lines the ball up and round with a hit on goal, A stands there active to tip the ball if necessary.
• Next to C, A is immediately ready for the tip of the ball coming from D. 
• D has a hard targeted flats just as if he wants to score. A causes this ball to change direction and go into the goal.
