Hockey: Dribble Pass and Move

I love using Sportplan. It's been a great help for co-ordinating hockey...

Laura, Hockey Coach

DESCRIPTION

Setup the practice as shown.

Split the group into two.

Player 1 dribbles up to the cone before passing the ball across to player 2. Players have to make sure that they give a pass in each box.

COACHING POINTS

Players should be looking to dribble the ball at a high pace, while reducing speed when preparing to make a pass

PROGRESSION

Make the boxes smaller so they drill has to be performed at a much greater running pace

Increase the box size so more emphasis is made on the quality of the pass

Passing & Receiving

Dribble then Gate Pass:

White Player 1 dribbles with the ball to the blue cone before passing the ball through the red gates.

Red player 1 receives the ball once it has gone through the gate and then repeats the practice in the opposite direction.

Passing & Receiving

Dribble pass and run:

Player 1 starts dribbling, player 4 makes a move to the right/left and there is a short wallpass between 1 and 4. After containing the ball it is passed to palyer 2 and then they start off and player 1 takes their place, and so on.

Movement off the ball

Adding to the pass:

Player 1 passes the ball to player 2, who lets the ball run across the body and runs with the ball to the next cone. He or she dummies to hit the pass wide but hits it under the arm into the path of player 3 running infield. Player 3 receives the ball on the move and shoots at goal.
