Hockey: Chip and go

Excellent, used the drills at our first training session today with...

Shane, Hockey Coach

DESCRIPTION

Players dribble towards the line of cones.

When they are parallel to the cones they perform the chip skill and then run around the cones to regain control and the ball and continue running.

COACHING POINTS

You could set up several lines of cones to get players to practice this skill two or three times in a row (if you do this ensure you leave enough space for players to control the ball before repeating the skill).

Catch a stick:

Players without sticks try and catch a player with a stick. Players with a stick can either run with the stick in the right hand only, or with both hands and stick on the ground.

Moving with the ball

Cross over relays:

Same principle as the straight relays, but players have to run diagonally across avoiding the other team.

It is that all players keep their heads up and do not run so fast that it causes them to lose control of the ball.

Moving with the ball

Body movement:

Set out two lines of cones in a tight zig-zag formation.

Players take it in turns to run through the cones. The ball travels down the middle while the player uses quick feet to shuffle in and out of the cones, maintaining a forward body position throughout.

Dribbling Players v Runners:

On the command the player with the ball runs around the blue cones, with the player without a ball running around the red cones. It is a race to see the first one back.
