Hockey: Learning to exploit the overload

The LD takes a hit in from the side line. Their compulsory pass is to the the SW. As soon as the ball is played the 3 players with the ball have to get the ball out of the 23m area. (Tip is that one ot the 3 players with the ball always takes a position between the two defenders).

The LM starts with the ball. His/her compulsory pass is to the LW. As soon as the ball is played, the 3 players with the ball have to try and score a goal. The defenders start in the circle but can only defend outside the circle.(Tip is that one of the 3 players with the ball always takes a position between the two defenders).

The Left wing(LW) receives ball from Left midfield (LM) and takes the ball into the zone where the right defender(RD) can try and win the ball. Just before the LW loses the ball he/she turns away from the RD and passes the ball to LM. It is important that LM stays outside the zone and straight behind the LW. When the LM receives the ball he/she has to try and get the ball to Right midfield(RM) either direct or via the Center midfield (CM) depending what The defending midfielder (DM) is doing. The DM is restricted to the coned area and therefore can only intercept when LM runs with the ball into that area.
Pass and follow sequence LM-LW-CM-RM-LM (RD + RMD should be switched every so often).

With the exercise starting with a pass from the left midfield to the left wing. Defenders have to start in the circle each new attack.
The attackers can only score after receiving a pass from right to left.
