Hockey: Wall pass

Switching the point:

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.

Rotation of players - 1 moves to 2, 2 moves to 3, 3 moves to 1.

Creating Space to Receive the Ball:

Player 3 runs into the channel. At the same time player 1 passes the ball to player 2. Player 3 has to time the run, so they can run out of the channel once player 2 is ready to pass the ball, not before. Again it is important that player 3 should not have to slow down to receive the ball, and should take the ball while continuing to run and shoot at goal.

Wide pass forward:

Player 1 passes the ball across to player 2 who then passes up the wing to 3. Player 3 then crosses the ball to 4 who has a shot at goal.

Players 3 and 4 then join the back of their respective queues, players 1 and 2 go into players 3 and 4 s positions and then players 5 and 6 start off like players 1 and 2 did originally.
