Hockey drills for

  • 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.


team-versus-team

  • 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.


1-v-1

  • Divide the group in two.
  • Everyone stands in his own free space.
  • You can score points by dribbling to the pylon and return to the free space, this is 1 point.
  • If you get tapped you have to go back, but it doesn't give you a point.
  • After 2 minutes the 2 taggers are replaced.
  • (first practice without ball and stick)

  1. defender 1 passes to attacker 1

drawing Scoring
  • 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.  

     

  • A passes deep to B, B goes around behind pilons and gives the ball to A in front, A scores on goal;
  • B goes back to position, offers himself and gets the ball from C. CB play a 2v1 against A;
  • A enters the ball at D gets ball and plays (D, E and A) a 3v2 against CB.
drawing Attacking over 2 sides

Game with different variations:

  • with grip
  • with globe
  • with stick in weird position
  • with other balls


  • Player A runs left towards the pilon straight ahead and retrieves the ball so that the pilon is played out. 
  • Then player A passes the ball deep on to player B, who runs in.
  • Player B puts the ball back to player A
  • Player A finishes.

Then player A does the task of player B and vice versa. 

  • Player A plays the ball to Player B, who comes running into the ball.
  • Player B bounces the ball directly back and runs towards the corner edge circle with a slalom through the gates.
  • Player A runs towards the first pole to perform a tip in


Exercise is set up in the middle.Player A becomes player B and vice versa.

  • The trainer (T) rolls the ball (1) to one of the four front players (for example A).
  • Player A receiving the ball (2) plays a duel with player V1 opposite him.
  • The goal is to score the ball at the opponent's goal.
  • If V1 manages to intercept the ball, he plays it to V2.
  • Now V2 may try to score with player B.
  • After a goal, the form of play starts over again.


Making it easier

  • Play a 1-1 duel on the two fields for a few minutes, after a goal,  the substitute player comes into play.


Make it more difficult

  • After the ball is taken by V1, V1 and V2 may try to score against player A (now it has become a 2-1 game).
  • A has to defend. 
  • If A takes the ball, he plays it to player B. 
  • Player A and B play a 2-2 duel on players V1 and V2.
  • It works just like a normal game only now there's a square in the middle.
  • If a shot or other foul is made, or if the ball has been out of bounds, the trainer throws/plays in a new ball from inside the square.
  • The ball does not necessarily go to the same team or at the place where the foul was made.
  • The size of the field depends on the number of players.
