Hockey: Push Pass Static

I love using Sportplan. It's been a great help for co-ordinating hockey...

Laura, Hockey Coach

DESCRIPTION

- Static push pass

COACHING POINTS

- Transfer weight from the back foot to the front during the pushing action
- Allow players to find a comfortable distance away from the ball
- Stretching for the ball will decrease the power of the pass and cause the player to lose balance

PROGRESSION

- Allow players to lead into the pass

Receiving On The Forehand:

Receive ball in front of the right foot with weight on right foot in order to pass ball in either direction.

Eyes should watch the ball onto the stick and players should "Cushion" the ball with soft hands on receipt (stick moves back a little to give as the ball is received).

As players improve they should have some idea of what they will do next having looked (scanning before they control the ball) they may pass left or right or run with the ball etc.

1st touch is also important because it allows you to put the ball where you want to use it next.

Balance as ball is received, prepare early to pass ball and move away with ball as mentioned above.
