Hockey: Shooting from range game

Encourage your players to take their chances, put their laces through the ball and SHOOT from distance!

Players must run through the cones with the ball under control.

When they reach the final cone they have one final touch to set the ball and then they must shoot into the far corner.

After shooting players collect the other players' ball and then dribble to the back of the other line.

Player 1 jogs backwards to the far cone and then sprints out to the first cone, ready to receive the pass from player 1.

Player 2 must take only one touch to set themselves for their shot on goal.

After shooting the first ball player 2 should then run into the box to pounce onto the ball played in by player 3.

This game can be played with almost any number of players.

In this game the pitch is 50 metres long, split into two 15 metre shooting zones (at both ends) with a 20 metre mid-section.

Players are allowed in all areas of the pitch but are only allowed to shoot outside of the 15 metre area.

Set up two goals, one at either end of the half pitch and two narrow channels (with cones), one to the left and the other to the right of the goals.

Players must dribble with the ball using both feet through the channel towards goal. When they are within 15m of the goal they should prepare to shoot, with a shot across the goalkeeper into the far corner.
