Hockey: Round the Gate under Pressure

Set up as shown 10m long by 6m. (Place cones at each end.

Player 1 pushes the ball through the cones. Player 2 receives the pass and with their 1st touch puts ball to the right of the right cone and then pushes the ball through the opposite cones.

Player 1 receives and with their 1st touch puts the ball to the right of the right cone and repeats.

2 players one ball.

Player passes the ball to the other player who has to first touch the ball into a passing position on the other side of the cone and passes the ball back to the other player.

The team with the ball must try and keep possession of the ball. Only 2 players from each team are allowed to be inside the area.

1 player can move anywhere on the outside of the area. To involve this player, the players inside the area have to pass the ball to the outside player.

On doing so, the outside player can come into the area and the player that passed the ball becomes the new outside player.

Standing in pairs on each cone players have to run with the ball at the left cone of each gate. When they reach the gate they should then drag the ball to the right cone and run around the gate.

Once they have returned to where they started from the other player can run around the cones.

After a few goes each reverse the direction to change the way players do their reverse drag.
