Excellent, used the drills at our first training session today with...
Shane, Hockey Coach

DESCRIPTION

Split the players up into two groups for a relay type exercise. It starts by one player from group 1 running with a ball to the goal on the half way line,trying to score a goal. As soon as they have a shot at goal, a player from group 2 runs with a ball to the other goal to try to score a goal. The player that had the first shot has to try and defend against the player from group 2. When this player scores or loses the ball to the defender, the next player starts from group 1 and the player that had the shot becomes the new defender. The player that had the first shot and then defended, goes to the back of there queue. (Players should always finish up in the same queue and attack the same goal).

COACHING POINTS

  • Play this practice non stop for about 5 minutes
  • Good practice for 6 - 8 players
  • Check that attackers do not start to run too early each time, giving the defenders no chance to recover after their shot at goal.
