Hockey: Covering defender

I love using Sportplan. It's been a great help for co-ordinating hockey...
Laura, Hockey Coach

DESCRIPTION

  • Put a ball on the pitch and ask one player to stand close and the second player to stand 3 to 5 meters behind the close player.
  • The close player takes up a low stance and moves left and right of the ball pretending to be defending the ball.
  • The second player moves opposite to the close player and try to cover the space.
  • COACHING POINTS

  • If th close defender moves away from the ball the cover defender can step in closer and the roles will be reversed
