Hockey: Reverse Stick Repetition

Excellent drills, very detailed videos. Useful site for my U15 boys...

Parry, U15 boys Hockey Coach

DESCRIPTION

Player in the middle runs to receive the ball on his/her reverse stick side from one of the sides and then passes it on. He/she then runs out to receive the ball on the reverse again. Repeat.

COACHING POINTS

For less experienced players, have them run with their stick on the ground. This will remove the timing of the stick to ball and improve trap rate

Senior: Making the Most of the Overload

OFTEN USED WITH...

Move Along the Line:

4 players have to keep possession against 2 defenders with the restriction that the players in possession can only move on the line they are on. Swap players in the middle when they have taken the ball 5x.

Possession

Dribble or pass? 2 vs 1:

Players work in threes in this drill, 2 attackers trying to get past the single defender and score in one of the two goals.

The white player starts with the ball and dribbles towards the defender where they are presented with two options: They can either pass to the supporting player or take the ball themselves to go and score in one of the two corner goals.

Eliminating a Player

Look opposite:

2 players try and keep possession of the ball against 1 defender who has to put pressure on the player with the ball. The passing players should occasionally try and mask their gaze, possibly by looking in the opposite direction to their intended pass, though not all the time.
