Forcing Play over to the Forehand 2:

Progression from the previous drill (1 vs 1 Defence A and B).

Start the game more open, so the defence have to work harder to force the attack to their forehands.

Indoor Hockey

forward support:

Player 1 runs with the ball through the little slalom and passes the ball to player 3 on the top of the circle. this player then hook dribbles the ball towards the cone making space for player 2 to run in to
Player 4 on the half way line runs to support the player on the ball who on reaching the board should pass the ball back to player 4 this palyer then passes the ball to player 2 who has run into the circle player 2 shoots at goal

Indoor Hockey

Deflection Left Post:

Work on player 1 starting off the move by passing out wide. Then make the lead to the left post and across the face of the goal to where the cross is coming in from to make the deflection.

Indoor Hockey

Forward rotation pass down left board:

Have lots of balls.

Every time the ball is passed into the midfield while the forwards finish the move, the back two can take the next ball and start passing between themselves until the rotating forwards are ready to receive the next ball.

Players not just running around in a circle, but looking to receive the ball.
