Hockeyexercises for technique passing

• The trainer makes 3-pairs -if you can't work out the numbers of 4-pairs-; 2 players on one side of the playing field, 1 on the other side.
• The side of the pair always starts with the ball.
• Player 1 starts by floating to the other side.
• Halfway across the playing field he gives a push pass to player 2 on the opposite side.
• Player 2 takes the ball and does the same as Player 1 and gives the ball with a push pass to Player 3 etc.
• The player who passed the ball first runs on to Player 2's spot, Player 2 to Player 3's spot etc.

• Drive the ball well in front of your body -i.e. not next to it or behind it- -> Look well over the ball.
• Drive the ball well outside with your left elbow.
• The exercise must be performed technically well before you can increase speed.

• Player blue begins to move in a lateral direction. So the initiative lies with this player.
• Player red pushes the ball straight to player blue.
• Player blue rebounds the ball sideways.
• Player red has moved on, takes the ball and scores.
• Having scored, you rebound and visa versa.

• Player blue must make sure he is well turned in at the time of handball.
• Make sure you have your stick well in front of your body at the moment of handball.
• Also pay extra attention when rounding on goal, preferably a flat.

• Divide the group into 4 groups
• Each group works on 1 side of the field
• Put 2/ 3 players at the back line -blue triangle- 2 meters from the bar
• Put 2/ 3 players at the middle line -red three corners- 2 meters from the bar
• The balls are with the players on the center line

• The player with the ball plays to the player on the back line, through the bar
• The player on the back line takes up and plays the ball back to the player on the middle line, via the bar
• The player on the center line picks up, drives the ball to the circle and scores
• The blue player moves to the red player's spot and the red player moves to the blue player's spot
• The red player first takes the ball out of the goal and brings it back where the other balls are

• Playing hard on the bar
• Make sure you have a good sharp angle so the ball arrives at the other player as well

• First: the explanation of the tip-in exercise
• B starts running around the pawns and accelerates towards A when he gets to the goal
• A gives a hard, aimed pass in the direction of the goal
• B tips the ball so that it changes direction
• Then they change places

• We are going to practise running out
• A is the right defence player who wants to play the ball somewhere
• B is the right center and he is going to run an in out.
• He starts in the middle of the pitch and wants to pass to A
• He accelerates towards the sideline A can choose whether or not to give the ball
• If he does not give the ball then A completes his line and comes back to where he started and then runs an in-out again
• If A passes the ball B takes the ball and may score in the goal.

• A is ready with the ball
• B comes running towards the ball.
• A passes the ball to B.
• B receives the ball
• A runs on and gets the ball back from B.
• B takes the ball on the pass.
• They touch the ball only 2 times.
• A receives the ball again,
• B runs in to the deep and gets the ball back from A.
• A also touches the ball twice, accepts and plays on.
• B takes the ball in the depth and runs into the circle and rounds the goal.
• Exercise on 2 sides.
  • If it goes well, put 1 defender in between to put pressure on the ball and if they intercept, they can score in the little goal on their side.

• Extension of exercise 1 of this training.
• A passes the ball to B.
• A moves to the outside to get the ball back there.
• There is no space there so they accelerate on the pawn back to the middle and get the ball from B.
• B must look at what A is doing and judge what is the best moment to pass the ball.
• Let A do this a number of times and then put in a defender.
• B must then think about when they want to pass the ball
• This may be when A runs to the outside, that they give the ball when they thinks they can, or that they wait for A to speed up and then give the ball.
• B should therefore start thinking and see what the best moment is
• Set up on both sides

• A passes the ball to B
• B receives the ball.

• B starts running around the pilons and accelerates when he reaches the goal towards A.
• A gives a hard facing pass towards the goal
• B tip the ball so that it changes direction

• He starts in the middle of the field and wants to offer himself for A.
• He accelerates towards the sideline A may choose whether he wants to give the ball or not.
• If he doesn't give the ball, A finishes his line further and comes back to where he started and then runs again on another in-out. 
• If A passes, B takes the ball and is allowed to score on the goaltender.

• Players outside the box should replay as often as possible.
• The pass must always pass through the box.
• The players inside the box must try to intercept the ball.
• As soon as the players inside the box have intercepted the ball, they should replay as often as possible inside the box. 
• Each time they have replayed 3 times, someone outside the box may enter the box to recapture the ball.
• As soon as they succeed, they will play to someone outside the box and it will start over again, so at least one player must always remain outside the box to be able to play.
• The field can be larger or smaller, there can be more or less players inside and outside the box.

Make 2 teams. 

• Both teams have their 'own' course, where they can score points (for example by playing over 5 times in their own course).
• The other team is allowed to conquer the ball in the other box, but not everyone from the other team is allowed to enter the other box.
  • The number of players of the other team -1.
• As soon as blue has captured the ball, blue will go to his own square as soon as possible and will play over there as often as possible.
• There may be 3 players of red in the blue box. 
• See example: in team red there are 4 players, so 3 players of blue are allowed to enter the red box.

• All players are facing the back line.
• Player 1 plays the ball in the backhand of player 2.
• Player 1 catches up with the other players on the left.
• Player 2 plays the ball into player 3's backhand.
• Player 2 overtakes the other player on the left.
• Player 3 plays the ball into player 1's backhand.
• Continue until you reach the back line and turn around.
• Points of attention:
  • Make sure everyone keeps watching the ball at all times. Especially when the ball is behind you and at that moment the ball is played to you.
  • Make sure you always keep moving.
