Hockey: 3 v 2 and score

Use the wings to put some verve into your attack - Improve your team;s possession with this wing support Session

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.

Coach feeds the ball to MM who plays the ball to RD or LD. These in turn play the ball in to the forwards on their side and play 3v2, (defenders have to play man to man marking for the first pass).

Progression - introduce sweeper into the defence and let the MM join in the game after his pass, making it 4v3.

The middle attacker starts with the ball.

The drill starts with one of the other attacking players making a diagonal run forward to try and get ahead of the ball carrier.

It is important that the ball carrier does not run forward. Instead they should run in-field to draw one of the defenders and leave space behind defender 1.

If defender 2 does not go with the player running diagonally through, the pass should be given to this player.

However if the defender 2 does go with the runner the player square should be on for a pass.

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.
