Hockey: Roll Strong and Switch

Description

Player 1 passes the ball to player 2 who has run across the pitch.

On receiving the ball, player 2 turns around and runs towards the goal and passes the ball into the path of player 3.

Player 3 takes the ball and shoots.

Coaching points

The ball should be picked up at pace

Emphasis should be put on a large, dramatic roll out to create space

Progression

Add in a defender and play a 2 vs 1 with the secondary passer joining the attacker

Add in two defenders and play a 3 vs 2 once the switch pass has been played
