Hockey drills for technique ball control

• A starts with the ball and gives a hard push forward.
• B comes running in and takes the ball, then turns away.
• Floats around on the pawns, lines up the ball and rounds on goal.

• Blue passes to red, runs after ball and connects behind red.
• Red passes to white, runs after ball and connects behind white.
• White passes to blue, runs behind ball and connects behind blue.
• And so on.
• The one with the ball on the edge of the circle rounds off.

• Use pilons to set up two squares 
• Around the dotted head circle (left and right next to/opposite the goal) 

Passing and scoring

• Each pilon has a player on it.
• Player A plays wide to the left to player B and chases the ball.
• Player B plays the ball diagonally to the right to player C and chases the ball
• Player C plays wide to the left to player D and chases the ball
• Player D plays diagonally to the right the ball to player E and chases after the ball
• Player E takes on and scores with flat / stroke
• Player E continues to the left around the extra pilons (out of practice) back to position A

Variation:

• Balls start on the left from position B (pilon/position A is omitted), before that a pilon is added to the edge circle (position F).
• player 1 plays the ball from position B diagonally to the right to player 2 at position C and chases the ball
• Player on C plays wide to left to player in position D and chases after the ball
• Player in position D plays the ball diagonally to the right to player E and chases after the ball
• Player in position E plays wide to the left to player in position F and chases the ball
• Player in position F takes on the fh or high bh and scores with a (backhand) stroke and
• Runs outside the exercise to start position (B)

Variation 2:

• 2 rows of players behind pilons A and B
• Player 1 plays the ball wide to the left and runs straight to position C
• player 2 takes the ball and plays player 1 diagonally to the right in the fh while running (towards position C) and runs straight ahead towards position D.
• player 1 takes the ball in the fh around position C and plays the ball wide / backwards back to player 2 (towards position D) and runs to position E
• player 2 takes the ball (preferably with fh) and with foot position in direction E and plays the ball diagonally forward back to player 1 (direction E: rather just in the circle / edge circle than behind player 1)
• player 1 takes on and strikes / fats as fast as possible towards goal (do not bring the ball back) and runs outside exercise back to position B

Variation on 2:

• After that player 2 has delivered the ball to player 1 the 2nd time / last time, he / she becomes (passive) defender at the next set
• the defender is not allowed to go into the circle (or rather not even behind the line (position C/D) from where he/she started (position D)
• takes off the ball then floats over a line between position A and B.
• The 2 players that come up stay inside the box (width of pass lines) but are free in construction, they may also cross behind, cross over but no passes in the air (no lifts).
• the No. 1 scores and, just like the defender, runs outside back to another position. The No. 2 becomes defender

Accents:

• hands apart while controlling
• foot positioning open
• control it for a follow-up pass or even a quick bounce back
• Score after 2 contacts (control, max 1 other touch) 
  • see hands/feet position/distance from the ball at hitting and flats accents

• Player 1 plays in hard to player 2 with flats.
• Player 2 runs in on the ball, takes the ball in stride and turns left or right.
• Player 2 plays the ball in to player number 3 with a hard push.
• Player 2 then runs to pawn number 3 without the ball.
• Player number 3 accepts the ball in the run and runs on to pawn 2.
• Player number 3 hits a regular high shot to player 1.
• Player #1 takes the ball in the run and then plays another flats on the player at the pawn.

• Passing in the loop
• Do not stand still
• Actively moving from pawn to pawn

• Player A plays the ball with a flats or hard push on C.
• Player C comes running in and rebounds the ball wide at once to player B who has come running in.
• B takes the ball in stride and accelerates with the ball on the stick to the edge of the "dotted circle.
• There he passes the ball with a hard push to player C who has run around the pawn and offers himself.
• The ball is accepted just outside the circle and then taken into the circle with 1x touch and hit on goal.
• Then the player gets a 'rebound' ball played to him from the back line by the trainer and finishes it on the goal.

• Player stands in the middle
• Player is played on
• Player spins out
• Player passes to the opposite side
• Repetition of the above steps
• After a number of minutes the game is switched

• First dribble, push into the run.
• Player comes in and spins out and then returns a push into the run.
• Player comes back in and does two dribbles and then finishes on goal.

• T: Give as many passes as possible within 1 minute.
• R: /
• A: Making the square bigger
• D: Passive defender

• Player Blue stands between the four pawns and plays player Red firmly -hard push.
• Player Blue keeps eye contact with player Red and chooses position left or right between the pawns.
• Player Red plays the ball firmly back to Blue's chosen position -attack position.
• Player Blue accepts open and then finishes on goal.

• Players Blue and Red stand with straight backs and bent legs on the ball of the foot. In the 'starting blocks'.
• Stick just slightly above the knees.

• Player Blue takes open first at both attack positions on the forehand, then on the backhand, then alternately.

• For 1st year D players, it is recommended that the trainer take the role of player Red in the beginning.
• As confidence grows, and effectiveness, players can assume the role of Red.
