Hockey: Carrying ball - Right wing (Pass to the left)

*** AUDIO DESCRIPTION ON ***

Objetcive: To understand the requirments of the player when dribbling with the ball down the left side of the field. 

Purpose: The position of the ball and technique when dribbling will alter where the next pass or tackle is going to come from. Carry in the correct position to give as many options for the pass and to send a clear message to the rest of the team, Eg. wingers/forwards leads. 

Structure: Pairs 

 

*** AUDIO DESCRIPTION ON ***

Objective: To get the attacking player to receive and roll strong, away from the tackling defender.

Purpose: Rolling/peeling away from the defender is a relatively low risk strategy to consolidate possession and eliminate. 

Structure: Pairs or Groups of 3 (potential to add in passive/active defender)

 

Player 1 runs into the space to receive the ball from player 2 who:

1. Can hit or push the ball
2. Can give an aerial ball into the space.

The player looking to receive the ball then runs into the circle and shoots.

- 5 yard square
- 3 forwards and 2 defenders
- Forwards must stay on the outside of the square
- Defenders cannot leave the square or tackle the player in possession
- Forwards around the square can move around
- If a defender intercepts the ball, they should swap with the forward who made the pass
