Hockey: Reverse lift

Excellent drills, very detailed videos. Useful site for my U15 boys...

Parry, U15 boys Hockey Coach

DESCRIPTION

- Perform a stick dink from left to right
- White cone is a defender, red cones mark the range of their stick you are looking to lift over.

COACHING POINTS

- Players should use their body to sell the movement to the left before lifting. This would commit a defender to a challenge
- The ball carrier should explode out once the lift has been performed

PROGRESSION

- Introduce a passive defender so players have to decide the right time to perform skill

Reverse Stick Dink and Straighten 1:

After beating a defender with a reverse lift it is important:
1.) Get back in control
2.) Cut-back behind the defender, effectively taking them out of the game.

We are practising this with just cones but imagine; the space you want to be is likely to be behind the defender you have just beaten. It is also important to regain control quickly so you do not run off the pitch or into trouble.
