Hockey: 2 vs. 1 Tag defence

Great site. An absolute must for coaches who are willing to change...

Ignatius

DESCRIPTION

Players start in pairs on the 23 meter line.

The attackers have to try and score a goal against the defender.

The defender has no stick and to stop the players scoring they have to tag the player in possession of the ball. As soon as a player has been tagged both attackers must stop and join the queue again.

OFTEN USED WITH...

3 v 1 Pattern to score:

3 blue and 1 white player start from between the gates (2 cones). Set in the specific areas on the pitsh.

Blue 1 starts with the ball and passes the ball to blue player 2 coming out of the gate. The defender (white) can now try to stop the players scoring.

Player 2 passes the ball back to player 3 and the 3 blues continue to the goal and try to score.

Overload situations

2v1 break:

One attacker and one defender stand at the top of the circle.

The 2nd defender stands wide outside the 23m area and passes the ball to a 2nd attacker level in the middle of the pitch.

Once they have receivied the ball this attacker can take the ball and try and score a goal using the other attacker the defender that started the exercise can run back and help prevent the 2 attackers from scoring.

Overload situations

Outletting:

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.

Overload situations

call in support:

Set out the grid as shown with 2 goals either side of the defender.

1 player starts with the ball and has to run into contact with the defender (draw the defender) on doing so the player with the ball can decide to continue and try to run round the defender or turn away from the defender keeping possession of the ball and pass the ball to the supporting player who is only allowed to come into the grid and help if they have received the ball.

Now the 2 player can play a 2 v 1 and try to score a goal.
