Hockey: Hitting Drill off Right Foot

The feeders on the half way line pass to the players higher up the field on the wings.

The wing players must cut inside and then out to receive the pass.

The wing player then runs up the pitch before passing to the central player who has to run to one side of the circle or the other before shooting.

- Utilising the standard hit
- Hands together at the top of the grip
- Player should stroke through the ball
- Push the ball outside of the left foot
- Step into the ball, transferring weight the the left foot which should approximately be in line with the ball

1. The inside player passes the ball to their partner on the outside.
   
   
2. The inside player then moves clockwise to receive the ball back via a wall pass from the outside player.
   
   
3. The inside player then runs clockwise to pass the ball to the next player on the outside

Practice continues.

Good pile of balls placed with outside halves (2 and 3) who initiate each new movement.

Player 3 plays the ball to 1 who slaps the ball at pace to Player 2. Player 2 receives and immediately slides the ball at an angle down the outside right channel to 4. 4 receives on frontstick and rolls strong outfield. 4 then hits to 6 who receives and shoots.

2 then passes to 1 who slaps ball at pace to 3. 3 receives and slides ball down outside left channel to 5. 5 leads in a “hooked-shaped” manner to receive the ball going forward.

On receiving the ball, 5 dribbles to cones in the top left and plays 2 options: (A) a reverse dribble or (B) a double dummy.

5 then hits the ball to 6 who receives and shoots. The next ball is already moving down the right side.

Unopposed drill to start with.
