Using Board 2 vs 1 | Indoor Hockey

Using Board 2 vs 1:

The forward (blue 1) gives the ball to the opposition's defender and then tries to win the ball back.

Once they have the ball the defender plays out the 2 vs 1, deciding whether to try and go alone or make use of the extra player.

Using the Boards | Indoor Hockey

Using the Boards:

Set up a line of cones about 5 to 8 metres away from the boards forming a long thin pitch.

Make two end zones

2 teams of 4 nominate a player to stand in their side's allocated end zones.

The player in the end zone is the support player and can be used to keep possession.

The aim of the game is for one of the teams to pass or dribble into their end zone.
