Hockey: Pass move to receive return

Encourage adventurous attacking with this passing transition session - teaching players to look up and pick out their team-mate's attacking runs

1 passes to 2.
2 passes to 3.
3 passes to 1, who then shoots.
Player 2 then moves to player 1 position, player 3 moves to 2 and player 1 goes to the back of the queue.
The next ball is then passed.

Player 1 passes the ball to player 2.

Player 2 turns away from the cone, and passes the ball into space for player 3 to run onto.

Player 3 now passes the ball to player 1, who has made a run around the outside of player 2.

Player 1 takes the ball into the circle and shoots.

Player 3 runs into the channel. At the same time player 1 passes the ball to player 2. Player 3 has to time the run, so they can run out of the channel once player 2 is ready to pass the ball, not before. Again it is important that player 3 should not have to slow down to receive the ball, and should take the ball while continuing to run and shoot at goal.

The player with the ball passes the ball square to the other attacking player. Upon receiving the ball player 2 runs laterally across the defender, staying just out of reach. In the meantime player 1 has to run diagonally into the space behind the defender.

Player 2 has two options they can pass the ball into the space behind the defender for player 1 to run onto or player 2 can keep the ball and continue to run past the defender.

Player 2 can pass at any time and must run to be available for the return pass from player 1.
