hockey

• The ball starts with red. White runs towards the ball. Red passes the ball to white and takes a few steps wide to the outside.
• White passes the ball back to red. Red passes the ball to blue.
• The second red (midfield player) moves inside while the second white (forward) moves outside.
• Blue passes deep along the line to the forward who has come to offer support there.
• The forward receives the ball and drives towards the goal.
• The midfield player comes in to guard the forward and receives the ball.
• The midfield player drives into the circle and shoots at the goal.

• Add two defenders (see red and white triangles).
• The red triangle applies pressure from behind on white and then takes the shortest route to the goal.
• The white triangle chooses whether to close off the line (pass 7) or to move inside with red.
• Blue must decide whether the pass can go along the line or needs to go inside.
• A 3 versus 2 situation arises with the two triangles against red (midfield player), white (pivot), and white (forward).
• If necessary, an additional defender can be placed at the edge of the circle.
• Optionally, an extra forward can be added from the other side (blue triangle).
• If the exercise can only be executed on one side at a time, an extra pass can be added before pass 1, for example, a cross-field pass from the other side of the playing field.

• Distribute balls over three cones: red, white, and blue.
• Red starts with a ball, dribbles towards the circle, and performs a passing movement at the cones on the edge of the circle.
• Red then shoots at the goal.
• At that moment, white dribbles with a ball towards the baseline and makes a loop around the cones.
• White looks for a pass (preferably perpendicular) towards red who has come forward after the shot.
• Red receives this pass and shoots at the goal (this can also be done directly without receiving).
• Red then continues towards a post or the penalty spot.
• Blue gives a hard pass to the spot where red is positioned.
• Red preferably tips this ball.

• Rotate in the sequence: red > white > blue.
• At least 3 forwards, 4 is also possible, and preferably with a goalkeeper.
• With 3 forwards: play with rebound.
• With 4 forwards: maximum 1 quick rebound and then rotate to avoid long waiting.

• The exercise is performed on both the left and right sides, allowing players to practice their skills in both directions.
• Three players are active in the exercise simultaneously, while the remaining players double up their positions.
• The exercise begins with a fast and accurate pass from the first player to the second player.
• The second player receives the ball and quickly handles it to pass it on to the third player.
• The third player completes the exercise by either passing the ball back to the first player with precision or choosing a new direction.

Execution

• A starts with the ball and passes to B.
• B moves in front of the cone and receives the ball from A.
• B passes the ball back to A.
• C runs to the corner and receives the ball from A.
• C receives the ball openly.
• B continues to the line and receives the ball from C.
• A continues to the top of the circle.
• B passes the ball to A.
• A finishes on goal.

• Play a 2-against-2 match on a quarter field.
• Use a thin rope in the middle as a divider or cones if necessary.
• Add variations, such as mandatory play via the boards once or mandatory passing twice.

• Keep the pace high by scoring within 10 seconds.
• After a goal, immediately take the ball out to quickly resume play.
• Pause the game to explain important aspects such as moving off the ball and forehand passing.

• Start on the right side of the pitch.
• Pass the ball to the forehand of the drag-flicker.
• Use a feeder and a pusher for the execution.

• Direct on goal: The drag-flicker shoots directly at the goal after receiving the ball.
• Push to feeder for tip-in: The pusher returns the ball to the feeder for a quick tip-in towards the goal.
• Slide to the left: After receiving the ball, the drag-flicker slides the ball to a player on the left side for a shot on goal.

• Improve defensive and offensive techniques in an indoor hockey situation.

• Blue defends, red attacks.
• Blue plays the ball via the boards to a red team member on the centre line.
• After the reception by red, a 3 versus 2 situation starts with blue defending and red attacking.
• After the first pass from red, the defender on the centre line may join the play, turning it into a 3 versus 3 situation.

• Change the exercise to a 4 versus 3 situation for extra challenge.

• To improve attacking technique and finishing on goal in an indoor hockey situation.

• Player 1 passes the ball to Player 2, who receives it and returns it to Player 1.
• Player 1 receives the ball and plays it off the boards to the oncoming Player 3.
• Player 3 carries the ball on the backhand into the corner, makes a strong turn onto the forehand, and dribbles a few metres inside with the ball.
• Player 3 passes back to the top of the circle.
• After passing to Player 3, Player 1 continues towards the top of the circle, receives the ball on the move, and finishes on goal.

• Players rotate according to the pattern: 1-3-2-1.
• The exercise can be set up twice if there are enough players.

• Player 1 passes the ball to Player 2.
• Player 2 receives the ball and plays it back to Player 1.
• Player 1 receives the ball and passes to Player 3.
• Player 3 runs with the ball on the forehand towards the right back corner.
• Player 3 turns closed to the inside and passes back to the top of the circle.
• Player 1 has moved towards the top of the circle after passing to Player 3 without creating a shadow.
• Player 1 receives the ball and finishes high on goal.

• Player 1 moves to the position of Player 3.
• Player 3 moves to the position of Player 2.
• Player 2 moves to the position of Player 1.

• Improve ball control and shooting accuracy.

• Perform a slalom around the cones, moving from left to right twice.
• Turn outwards after the slalom.
