Hockey: Using Player on Back Line - RHS

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

Ignatius

DESCRIPTION

Player 1 runs into the circle and if the defender does not approach, player 1 can shoot at goal. Alternatively if the defender approaches, player 1 can play a one two with player 2 and then shoot at goal.
Player 2 needs to run out to make him/her self available for the pass from player 1.
Same practice on the other side of the circle.

COACHING POINTS

Use this drill as introduction to attacking down the baseline. This can be advanced by stretching the drill with more players, with the goal to find an overload on the baseline

Using The Back Line To Score - LHS:

Players start from the left or the right with a ball.

One defender in the Circle and one support attacker on the back line.

Players with the ball start out side the circle and have to try and score.

Depending on how what the defender does the attacker with the ball can choose to use the 2nd attacker or go on their own to score.

Overload situations

switch out of trouble:

No matter where you are on the pitch, if you feel that you cannot continue to apply pressure towards the goal Then start to play away from defender, and play the ball to your supporting player; this player then has the choice to:

1.Change the point of attack by passing the ball across the pitch, or
2.Pass the ball to the original player.

Overload situations

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.

Overload situations

Through Pass:

4 players have to try and play the ball from one side of the area to the other by passing it between or around the 2 players in the middle area. 5 interceptions, then swap.
