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

DESCRIPTION

  • Temporary footage
    Players should not wear baseball caps
    footage will be re shot soon
  • Place a ball on the pitch
    one player is the attacker and the other player is the defender
    The attacker has to run around pretending to receive the ball
    The defender has to shadow and stay goalside of the attacker at all time.

  • COACHING POINTS

  • Marking means tracking individual players and covering space through which passes can be made. It is an important aspect of the game with defenders attempting to stop an attacker gaining possession of the ball.
  • Marking will generally be from the side or slightly in front for most of the pitch, with the defender trying to intercept the ball.
  • Marking an attacker in the circle will generally be from slightly behind the player or to the side if more experienced, with the defender trying to intercept the ball
  • Defender will keep close to the attacker and between the attacker and the goal
