Hockey: Pass and receive static wall

Create pressure situations to improve how your players can pass when they're under pressure and have to think fast!

There's no goals in this passing focused training - it's designed to improve pass completion, player communication and pass accuracy

How to run a mixed ability session: Get everyone working, while some players receive a little extra tuition to bring them up to speed!

No matter where you are on the pitch, if you feel that you cannot continue to apply pressure towards the goal Then start to play away from defender, and play the ball to your supporting player; this player then has the choice to:

1.Change the point of attack by passing the ball across the pitch, or
2.Pass the ball to the original player.

Set up a square grid 5x5m with one player in the middle and 3 players on the outside and one player passing the ball into the player in the centre of the grid.

Players on the outside cannot intercept the ball coming into the grid they can only try to stop the player in the middle coming out of the grid.

The players on the outside of the grid can only enter the grid once the player has received the ball.

In the grid play a 5 vs 5 or 4 vs 4 possession hockey game.

There a two jokers stood at either end of the area. These two players may receive the ball from either team and are stood in the scoring zone.

The aim is to play possession hockey and use the two Jokers. Everytime the team in possession passes the ball to a joker and receives a pass back they score a point.

The first team to score 5 consecutive points is the winner.

3 v 1 - players with one ball between them. The players in possession have to pass the ball to each other while one player (white 1) attempts to catch the player in possession of the ball. On doing so, the player caught becomes the catcher.
