Hockey: Wide Goals

Description

Game with 2 teams. Both teams have two goals to score in.

This is to encourage teams to get the ball out of congested areas into the open spaces.

Play 5 vs 5 in a 23m area (width of the full pitch and the length of a 23 metre area).

Coaching points

The team in possession should not be too eager to switch the ball for the sake of it. They should try and draw the defenders to one side of the pitch by holding possession, and then switch to the other goal.

It is very important for the team in possession to keep moving the ball.
