Hockey: 1v1 defence in box

Try and play 1v1 from three different positions.
One player at a time rotates clockwise to the back of next group.

Player 1 passes the ball to player 2, player 2 has to try and score.

The defender has to start 5 to 10m away from a cone. They have to run round the cone first, before trying to stop player 2 scoring.

Defender can run to touch cone as soon as player 1 has passed the ball to player 2. Rotation 1-2-1.

Playing 1v1, try and score. It is important to play at speed and go close round the defender.

Defender has to try and get possession of the ball outside the circle.

Practice 5 times then change.

The aim of the game is to try and score goals from about 2m out.

The length of the game is approximately 2-3 minutes long and starts on the first whistle and stopped on the second whistle.

When the game is stopped it is important that there is a winner on each pitch. In the case of a draw the winner is decided on the throw of a stick (flat or round). Once every pitch has a winner all the winners move up one pitch (so if the player is on pitch 6 he moves to pitch 5). The losers do the opposite, they move one pitch down. The winner on pitch 1 and the loser on the lowest pitch have nowhere to move so they stay on their pitches.

Once everyone has moved the game can start again.
