Hockey: One touch passing across the river

JUNIOR SESSION: Although a simple skill to perfect, it is massively effective to keep the momentum in your attacks. Improve your players ability to pass and receive whilst on the move.

Working in pairs players have to work their way down the cones, passing across the river (2 lines of cones about 2 meters apart).

The player who receives the final pass may have a shot on goal before then collecting the ball.

When both players are ready they then sprint to the back of the queue, racing each other as they go.

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.

Players work in pairs with one ball.

They have to pass between each set of cones and can only use one touch passing.

The player with the ball runs around the cone before then trying to pass the ball to the player standing behind the defender.

To get the ball past the defender players should dummy and try to pass past the left foot of the defender.

The receiving player has to run the ball around the cone before attempting to pass the ball back to the other side.

If the defender intercepts the ball players must change roles.
