HOME Hockey Drills Eliminating a Player

Hockey: Changing of direction relay

I really appreciate the Hockey Coaching on Sportplan. The senior girls...

DESCRIPTION

Set out the cones as shown in the picture.

Each side of the triangles are about 1m.

They should be positioned in such away that the players exiting one traingle can run in straight line to into the next.

The practice is that the players have to run in to one side of the triangle and exit through another side.

COACHING POINTS

To start with make the players stop the ball inside the traingle befor moving on to the next one.

After a couple of goes each they should be able to go through the course without stopping.
