Hockey drills for technique passing

  • There are 2 passers on the PC points on the back line to the right and left of the goal. 
  • The player starts behind the 25 yard line, receives the ball from the left, gets the ball to the semi-circle and then has to score. 
  • This player then sprints past the penalty mark, then sprints back behind the 25 yard line, and then has to run back towards the goal to receive the pass from the other attacker (right) and do the same (scoring, sprint past the strokepunt/puntball point and back to the 25 yard line)
drawing Shooting on goal with sprint exercise
  • Keeper on target
  • Place 2 gates of pilons on the 23-metre line (the gates are on the left and right side of the goalposts)
  • Player red starts on the head circle and accelerates with ball through the gates.
  • Immediately after passing the gates, red passes to blue. 
  • Red sprints around a pilon to put pressure and/or take the ball away from blue. 
  • After receiving the ball, blue accelerates with ball and runs through the gates. 
  • If blue passes through the gates, red is not allowed to take the ball and has to go back to the pilon. 
  • Blue accelerates into the head circle and shoots at the goal.
drawing Receiving and accelerating under pressure
  • Make a triangle with pilons (2 meters between each pilon).
  • Player red starts with ball at the pilon 5 meters away from the triangle.
  • Player red passes to player blue while he dynamically moves towards and around the triangle. 
  • Player blue pivots the ball and plays the ball to player white. 
  • Player white plays the ball back to the starting point (red). 
  • During the exercise, each player runs behind his/her ball.
drawing Pivoting / Receiving / Shooting
  • The game starts with a pass from player 1 to player 2
  • Player two gives a clean pass along the line
  • Whereupon player 3 runs towards the line to receive the ball with a backhand
  • Player 4 runs along the pilon and positions himself on the top of the circle or continues running by the tip.
drawing Attack from the side
  • A passes the ball to B
  • B passes the ball back to A 
  • B runs wide and gets a hard targeted pass from A
  • B receives the ball, aligns the ball and finishes on goal
  • Then he runs towards the goal and gets a hard ball from C
  • B causes the ball to change direction by a tip-in


drawing Part 4 exercise 1 control the ball while running and shoot at goal
  • A stands in the box with her back facing towards the back line
  • B calls a colour either Blue or Orange
  • A runs first to the front pilon and taps the pilon. She then runs to the other same coloured pilon and runs around it.
  • B runs a bit with the ball and gives a straight ball to A 
  • A controls the ball while running and takes the ball to the circle and lines up and shoots.
  • The same on the other side
drawing Part 3 exercise 1 controlling while running
  • Put out the columns as shown in the figure
  • Spread the balls over pylon C and D.
  • In this exercise you place a player at pylon C and D.
  • The rest of the team will line up at pylon A.
  • From A onwards, the player walks around the pylon
  • From the post, the player makes a sideways movement facing the ball (facing C).
  • Player C plays the ball in the forehand of A
  • A takes the ball and turns right open
  • A runs in the direction of the circle and finishes at goal. 
  • From here he runs to D and receives another ball. 
  • The player turns open to the left and finishes on goal again.hockey-exercise-1

                                                                                           
hockey-exercise-1

  • Pass the ball to a fellow player under/over the pylons with stick.
  • Passes: push, slide and flats.
  • Stick at different heights
  • increase distance between each other
  • pylons closer together (gate smaller)
  • Perform the exercise with groups of three


passing

  • Each team has 2 goals. (see rules triple hockey).
  • 3 against 3 where 5x passes is 1 point (if the ball is intercepted, start counting again).
  • possibly 3 against 2 games with 1 player (trainer?)
  • always with the attacking team (complicated exercise!)
  • 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

  • Player A runs towards pylon 1 or 2, whichever player B designates.
  • A runs back to his starting place.
  • Then A plays the ball to B.
  • Player B does the same


running-and-passing-the-ball

  • Run with the ball and pass the pylo, then play the ball to your fellow player.
  • Take the ball on the forehand and run to the pylon and pass.
  • At the end of the exercise run back to the beginning
  • Change sides after every turn.
