Hockey drills for

• An extension to the exercise of an attack over right under defenders. 
• The goal of the exercise is that the 3 attackers want to get past the two defenders in an effective way. 
• First have them do it again a number of times. After that the exercise that they have done for this purpose will come back. 
  • This is exactly what they have to do, only now there are defenders and they have to watch even more and give the safe pass.  
• The first ball of A always goes back and from there they can build up.
• It then becomes a 3:2 

• A game form where switching is tested. 
• You make two teams, if you score one goal you can take the ball out immediately and you will score on the other side. 
  • This means that both teams have to switch because they are now coming towards the other goal. 

• V1 passes the ball to V2. 
• V2 takes on open/closed and finishes at goal.
• V1 passes the ball to A1.
• A1 attacks, V2 defends.
• V1 passes the ball to A2.
• A2 coincides with A1, V2 defends.
• V1 passes the ball to A3.
• A3 attacks together with A1 and A2, V1 and V2 defends.
• Points of attention:
  • Let the defenders choose who they go for, on the ball or continue to cover their man.
  • Attackers must keep moving.
• The exercise can be played on two sides. 

• A starts with the ball and plays the ball to B (defender must not intercept)
• B then has to play the ball back to A (defender may intercept this ball)
• When A has the ball again he plays it back to C 
• C takes the ball and plays a 2 against 1 together with A who has ran through
• Tips for attackers:
• Keep speed in your game
• Play over backhand side of opponent
• See where your fellow player is standing
• Tips for Defenders
• Push them to the side 
• Close the pass line between the attackers.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

• Each team has 5 inverted pylons to defend.
• The pylons are on the line and the players may only stand/defend on their own half.
• Which team knocks over the pylons of the other first.

• The children are placed in 2 rows.
• The trainer stands just behind the 2 rows and rolls a ball forward.
• The front 2 players try to conquer the ball.
• The player in possession
• drives the ball towards the goal.
• The other tries to conquer the ball again.
• From a marked point, the ball may not be taken away and the player in possession makes a shot at goal.

• You place 11 pylons at different distances, under each pylon you put a stack of city names.
• Each 2 tries to reach all 11 pylons as fast as possible.
• You dribble to a pylon, take a city map and take it back with you, tap the next one and it runs to another pylon.
• Each city you return to the trainer will be stamped on the 11 city card.
• Who reached the 11 cities first?

  (first practice without ball and stick)

1. defender 1 passes to attacker 1
2. attacker 1 to attacker 2
3. through pass from attacker 2 to attacker 1
4. defender 1 defends on attacker 1 when he has received the through pass
5. attacker 2 attacks > 2v1

• Set up a small field.
• Let the children choose fruits of their choice
• Call off those fruits, than the ones that were called out, do a 1v1 

• The exercise is meant to simulate a game.
• It is therefore intended that one team consists of the defenders/defending midfielders and the other team consists of the attackers.
• The attackers can score in the normal goal (decide if they can hit high as in the game).
• The defending side can score by driving the ball.
• Over the line of the goals on the half way line.   
• The attackers learn to play over and finish at goal and the defending side learns to defend to the outside.  

   

• Purpose; passing over large distances, while running. Finishing and tackleback.
• A plays long pass to B, 
• B drives the ball to the right and plays through to C who shoots at goal. 
• Once the shot has been completed, the next player on A passes to D
• and D starts a dribble towards the goal (scoring past penalty spot), 
• C defends this attack.
• Rotation: A1BCDA2

Variation:

• Attacker plays to defender, and plays the ball back to the attacker.
• Then the attacker is allowed to attack towards goal. 
• At 1, the ball begins and passes to the defender who then passes it to the out-going attacker. 
• From there it is 2 to 1
• See number 2, only the players remain and it becomes a 4 against 2.
