Hockey: Preparation for switching the ball

Description

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.

Coaching points

The Defender is only allowed to try and prevent the pass to the player on their own (the switch pass).

The attacking players will need to move the ball quickly to succeed in this drill.
