Field Hockey: Left To Right Cross

Great drills and practices thank you. Have used to great success for...

Steve, Clayesmore Prep School

DESCRIPTION

Set out 6 cones in grid 10 by 10 metres
The practice is to run with the ball to the 1st cone were the player lifts up the ball into space over a pretend stick (you could put a stick on the floor)
Then the player should regain control of the ball move their feet round and pass the ball across to the other side.

COACHING POINTS

To get the ball on the forhand to pass the player should use the reverse stick to pull the ball back and overtake the ball with their feet to then face step and pass the ball to the next player.
To receive the ball the player can receive the ball on the forhand or with the reverse before moving of and repeating the drill.

to advance the practice try to get the reciving players to start 5 m away from the start cone and time their run so they receive the ballon the move.

Passing & Receiving

Making Space:

Players move as shown in the diagram. Player at the front of the queue passes to the player on the wing who is moving from side to side waiting for the pass.

They then run up the line and then cut back and pass to the player waiting in the circle who then shoots at goal. Players involved then move round and play starts again.

Passing & Receiving

One Touch Circle:

Players pass the ball around the circle. One touch. Stay in your position.

Fun warm up game

Passing & Receiving

Pass And Follow Exercise:

A simple pass and follow is to put out some cones at random on the pitch. Have a player without a ball by each cone and the rest of the players at the start with a ball. A player passes the ball and follows it to the first cone where that pass went. The player waiting at the first cone receives the ball, passes it to the 2nd cone and so on. The player by the last cone, on receiving a ball has to run with the ball, to the queue at the start.
