Hockey: Passing the ball out from the back

Toy with your oppositions press and start zipping the ball around the back to really make the most of the width.

Build confidence at the back to stop your players whacking the ball away. Keep possession with this confidence at the back session

Pass the ball to the supporting player who then passes the ball wide missing out the other central player.

The practice can be done with 2 balls at the same time.

Players from the side of the area, pass the ball to a player in the goal.
This player, on receiving the ball can try to run the ball under control out of the area across the 23 metre line.
The player coming from the 23m line has to try and win the ball and score a goal.

Player 1 and 2 have to pass the ball between themselves in order to try and create an oppening through which to pass the ball through either goal to player 3.

When the pass has been made to player 3 the player who didn't play the pass must run to support player 3 and the drill continues.
