Hockey: Pass and receive static wall

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.

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.

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.

Coach's objective: To promote forward vision and awareness of space Purpose: To escape through the free gate Structure: Players work in threes. The receiver collects a pass from behind. As the pass is played, the defender moves from their starting cone through either of the gates in an attempt to tackle the receiver. The receiver must run through the unmarked gate with the ball under control

The defender runs through one of the two gates and attempts to tackle the ball carrier. The defender may only close down after the passer has rounded the cone. Purpose : To escape through one of the gates

- Passing and Receiving the ball on the 45 (degree) - Moving the ball into space - A feeder moves forward, passing the ball into a static forward - Defender must move around one of the flags and put pressure on the forward - Forward should move the ball into the space vacated by the defenders movement

This drill focuses on quick delivery of the ball into the circle. Midfielder passes the ball into player in a wide position who uses the pace of the pass to deflect the ball into an attacker making a run in the circle.  Attacker receiving the ball in the circle, should shape their run to create space where the ball is going to be played into. Attacker should then look to put a ball across the goal. 

Player 1 passes the ball into player 2 in the square. With the first touch try and get the ball out of the square. Outside players stay out but can move anywhere around the outside. Player needs to be the player in the middle getting out

1 ball between 2. Players have to pass the ball to each other through a gate. Using a different gate each time. The whole group should be working at the same time

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