Hockeyexercises for technique pass around player

• Make two rows of an equal number of players.
• Players take turns drifting toward the three double pawns.
• Arriving at the double pawns, do the herring trick three times in a row and then flatten the ball on goal.

1. You play the ball to the right of the double pawn and pass it yourself to its left.
2. Make sure you have control of the ball again before the next double pawn.
3. So push the ball in a controlled manner.

• On both sides, one player starts with the ball.
• Who floats to 1st pylon and bounces the ball on the beam and takes the ball back after the pylon.

• With the different materials you can make nice courses.
• A course is a fun and fast way to get the children to repeat their skills.
• It is also possible to make courses with a certain theme.
• Possible themes are: drifting, slalom, passing, playing high, making tempo.
• The arrows and traffic signs can be used in all sorts of exercises in a course and in relays.
• Here are some examples of possible courses

• A starts with the ball and runs up
• Encounters an opponent.
• B runs into the deep and gets a ball of A in the run
• C runs in and gets the ball from B in the run
• C takes the ball and runs towards the circle
• a player encounters an opponent there and passes the ball wide to the run-through A
• A walks in the direction of the circle and makes a choice or makes an action themselves
• Passes the pawns on the left and finishes on goal
• Or they choose to give the ball wide to the right to the run-through C
• Then C shoots at goal 

• Exercise with different lift passes.
• A runs to the bar and passes over the bar and gives a pass to B.
• B runs towards the ball and gives a lift pass to A. 
• A has gone through to take the ball from B.
• A gives a hard flat towards C. 
• C comes in front of the bar and lifts the ball in a movement over the beam bar accelerates towards the circle.
• C ball on the stick enters the circle.
• Aligning ball and shooting at goal 

• Exercise expand on both sides
• A gives a push to B
• B takes the ball closed because defender D is in his back. 
• B accelerates dribbling with the ball on the stick along the pilons, D runs with B because he doesn't want B to go along.
• D may try to conquer the ball when B has passed the pilons.
• B wants to pass the ball to C. If D intercepts, he passes the ball to C so that the person can continue with the exercise. 
• If B gets the ball to C, C will do the same and the defender E will defend. If E picks up the ball, he can finish at the goal. 
• How to continue, A goes to the spot of B, B goes to the spot of D, D goes to the spot of C, C goes to the spot of E and E goes to the spot of A.
• Tips for the attackers
  • Keep the ball close to you and screen it with your stick
  • Pass the ball over the backhand side of your opponent
  • Accelerate to make it harder for the defender to stop you
• Tips for the defenders
  • Keep your stick on the ground, you can react much faster to what your opponent is doing
  • Keep your opponent on the forehand and make sure the line is closed!
  • Let the attacker make the mistake and then grab the pass.
  • Guide your opponent in the direction where you want him/her to go 

• 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.  

   

Aim

• Practicing some useful hockey techniques.

Set up

• The player starts at the top black pilon. 
• He/she goes through the red slalom and then dribbles towards the (dark) blue pilon. 
• From the (dark) blue pilon an Indian will follow
• Dribble to the yellow pilon. 
• This is followed by passing moves, in this case a drag has been chosen. 
• With other movements, the pilons may have to stand slightly different. 
• But here the player runs to the left (end of the L) and drags in front of the 3 pilons the ball forcefully to the right. 
• This is repeated again and then the player pushes the ball onto the black goal.
• This exercise can be made easier/complicated. E.g. by changing the passing movements, increasing/reducing the distance of dribbling, making the goal smaller/ larger, adjust the slalom slightly, etc. etc. You can really let your own imagination run wild.

• 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.

• The centre mid runs in towards the defender (red) he plays the ball to the right half, who runs into the free space
• The centre mid runs forward.
• Right half plays the ball between the defenders to the right front who comes running in between the defenders. 
• Front right passes te ball to the left and goes past the defender and runs in the circle. 
• The centre mid now has two options that influence finishing: 
  • 1: he plays the ball to the striker to the left within the circle area. 
    • Striker plays directly on goal OR crosses to the right front (and runs towards the front of the second post).
  • 2: he plays it to the right of the central defender on the right front player. 
    • Right front attempts to shoot directly on goal OR passes towards to second post, striker tips it in.
• Tip: Because the game can change depending on choices, communication is key! 
• Indicate where you want the ball and shout to whom you are playing it!
