Hockey: Island Bulldog

I love using Sportplan. It's been a great help for co-ordinating hockey...

Laura, Hockey Coach

DESCRIPTION

All the players with a ball must try and get from one side to the other without having their ball taken from them by the defender.

If they are tackled then they also become a defender.

None of the players are allowed on the islands (use cones to mark off these areas).

The last player to be tackled is the winner.

1 v 1 Confidence - Running with the ball

Give everyone on the team the confidence to take the ball under pressure, beat a player with their 1-on-1 skills, then move it on.

OFTEN USED WITH...

King Ball:

This is a game where you learn to pass the ball beyond defenders, to players in space. No aerial ball allowed. Two teams positioned either side of the 23m line. One player from each team goes to the end zone behind the opposing team. The team with the ball has to try and pass the ball into the end zone behind the defence. Whoever makes the successful pass can join the player in the end zone. The aim of the game is to be the first team to have all their players in the end zone behind the opposition. The ball can only be won by the opposition intercepting a ball on the way to the end zone or back.

Conditioned Games

4v4 Endzone Game:

Set-up the pitch as shown. Place one player from each side in the opposite End Zone.

Players have to try and get the ball to the player in the End Zone for them to then score a goal. Only the designated players are allowed in the End Zone.

Conditioned Games

Kabadi:

Set up with two teams, each team having their own area in which they keep possession by passing the ball around.

The other team can send one player across to try and win the ball for their side. If they manage to win possession the roles reverse and the other team passes the ball inside their own area.

The winning team is the first team to put 10 passes together without losing the ball.

Possession

Hockey rugby:

2 teams try and score by running the ball into the scoring zone.

Rules are:

You can only pass the ball back of square.
The defensive players are not allowed to go beyond the line of the ball.
For the rest of the time, players can run with the ball and tackle.
