Hockeyexercise: game within the dotted line
Game within the dotted line
Objective
- As attack: achieve efficiency from your attack.
- As defense: execute clever defensive plays.
- The field is limited to the dotted line.
- The attackers take the ball somewhere on the dotted line and try to score.
- The defenders attempt to clear the ball via the outside.
- The attackers score 3 points for a goal, 2 points for a forced penalty corner, and 1 point for a good scoring opportunity.
- The defenders earn 3 points when they clear the ball by playing between the cones, 2 points for a free hit, and 1 point when the ball goes over the sideline.
- Adjust the size of the teams based on the number of available players.
- Play with one team on the side and switch every 2 to 3 minutes to facilitate rest and discussion.
- Make the cones for the defenders smaller.
- Use a 'chameleon' to give the attackers a numerical advantage if scoring is difficult.
- Ensure clarity on who is marking which opponent.
- Defenders must stay low and avoid fouls.
- Attackers should actively seek a foot.
- As an attacker, target the opponent's backhand; an attack on the right side is often easier.
- Defenders should assist in defending if their direct opponent is not active.
