Hockey: Team escape

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

Ignatius

DESCRIPTION

Set out a pitch 3/4 length, with two lines of cones to make the pitch slightly narrower.

The white team in the middle has to try and score a goal at either end against either set of defenders to get out.

Every time the defence gets the ball they must give it back to the attackers who then have to attack the other side.

Defenders are only allowed to defend inside the 23 m area, the defenders at the other end are not allowed to defend past the 1/2 way line.

COACHING POINTS

When the attackers score they become defenders and the team who conceded the goal become the new attacking side.

Make sure you Score - Intelligent Passing!

Four fun passing games to get your players working on their stick-work, teamwork and to get their heads back in the game

OFTEN USED WITH...

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

Inside out - Indoor hockey outdoors:

Because of the similarities with indoor and outdoor hockey it is beneficial for the teams to practice indoor style games.

Two 6 a-side teams, 2 goals, half a pitch. Put down 2 lines of cones from where the short corner is pushed out from on either side of the goal.

Important: put down spare balls all around the outside of the pitch to allow the teams to pick up the nearest ball to where the ball rolled off, and continue the game immediately.

The rules for this game, as with indoor hockey, are no hitting and no lifted passes.

Conditioned Games

Creating scoring chances - GK:

A good fun exercise for scoring goals, and for keepers to have a good work out.

Split the group into teams of four and put 2 or 3 keepers in the circle. The 4 attackers go into the circle with a ball and try to score, they can take as long as they like providing the ball remains in the circle.

Shooting & Goalscoring

Right Channel:

Player 1 passes the ball to player 2, who plays a 2v1 with player 3 through the channel. Once through, the attack becomes a 4v2 to try and score a goal. The defender in the channel stays and waits for the next attack.
