Triangle passingIn field hockey, it is important to always have three passing options. How this drill works â The player with the ball should always try to have three options for passing. If the through pass and the flat pass are being covered by defenders, then they may need to send the pass backward to try and set the play up again. In this drill, the defender (red) can cover the lanes, and the passer needs to decide which pass to make safely. Result â This drill will help players understand that they should always put themselves in a position to have three passes available to them.
