Hockey: Give and Go Circle - Part 2

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

Laura, Hockey Coach

DESCRIPTION

The inside player passes the ball to their partner on the outside.
The inside player then moves anticlockwise to receive the ball back via a wall pass from the outside player.
After the inside player receives the ball back they give it once more to the outside player
This time the outside player runs into the inside position and the inside player runs to the outside position. (players reverse roles).

Practice continues.

COACHING POINTS

This practice requires good concentration from all players - you may wish to walk through it at 50% pace to begin with to ensure players understand the movement patterns (one-two pass, switch positions, repeat).

PROGRESSION

Once the players understand the practice you can add the final progression which is that everytime the players have exchanged the passes and the players switch places the players change partners the inside player now plays the sequence of passes with the next outside player to their right.

Passing & Receiving

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

From Left to Right:

2 Players transfer the ball from left to right at the same time. IMPORTANT to receive the ball from the player on the left he/she should move closer to the passer. On receiving the ball, the first touch should be played towards the intended pass etc;

Passing & Receiving

Give and go:

Player 1 starts dribbling, player 2 asks for the ball, player 1 passes to 2 and runs into open space to receive the ball from 2. Then player 2 runs and receives the pass from 1, controls it and the plays it to player 3 and then player 2 runs to player 3'd cone, and so on
