Hockey: Use the support to get behind the defence.

Caught in a trap? Well contrary to what Elvis says you can back out. Teach your players to turn back to look for support and to continue the attack!

Player 2 runs to receive the ball and then runs with the ball to the cone before turning to pass the ball back to the support player.

The player then runs across to the back of the other practice (white players).

The support player passes the ball to the other group (white).

Player 1 passes the ball to player 2.

Player 2 turns away from the cone, and passes the ball into space for player 3 to run onto.

Player 3 now passes the ball to player 1, who has made a run around the outside of player 2.

Player 1 takes the ball into the circle and shoots.

create forward passes by transferring the ball

The 3 blue players are trying to pass the ball through one of the 3 goals in the middle of the area to one of the three players on the opposite side.

They can do this by running with the ball, dummy passing or transferring the ball between them to draw to two defenders out of position and create space for the pass.

The 2 defenders can only intercept the ball. When they do so they have to try and and pass the ball over the back line behind the 3 blue players who just lost the ball.

Players start on small square and run out to the corner of the bigger square to receive the ball.

After having received the ball and having passed it on to the next player the player should return to the middle square.
