Hockey drills for technique hitting

  • On the 23 meter line all field players are ready with all balls. 
  • They play the ball to point D to the left of where a player is ready. 
  • He plays the ball through and towards the circle to the player from whom he got the ball. 
  • The player standing at point D calls the player to finish the ball with a backhand or forehand. 
  • The ball must be hit at the head of the circle on target.
  • At point D there are two players and as soon as you have shot on goal you stand in this row.
  • Player 1 plays the ball to player 2
  • Player 2 plays the ball to player 3
  • Player 3 plays the ball to player 4
  • Player 4 finishes on target
  • Everyone runs to where he passes and when you've shot at goal you start at Player 1's spot
drawing Square
  • Player 2 runs in front of the defender (line of pilons). 
  • Then player 1 plays the ball to player 2 performing an open control and runs towards the circle.
  • Then player 2 finishes the attack.
  • The same happens to players 3 and 4.
  • In this exercise you can switch between open/closed controls.

  • Player 4 plays the ball to the left where player 2 and defender 1 are running in (2v1)
  • Player 4 plays the ball to the right where player 3 and defender 2 come running in (3v2)
  • Player 4 runs with a ball into the circle and finishes off the attack (4v2)

  • 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.
