Hockey: Short pass while dribbling

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

Laura, Hockey Coach

DESCRIPTION

Player 1 is dribbling with the ball and makes a short (wall) pass with player 2 who dribbles on with the ball. As the end players 1 and 2 have switched so player 1 passes to player 2 and then player 2 starts off dribbling and so on.

COACHING POINTS

The wall pass can be one or two touch, and will depend on the relative positions of the players

Passing & Receiving

Space pass:

Player 1 runs square across the pitch with the ball and then passes the ball into the space for the wide man to run onto the ball both sides. Then alternate sides.

Passing & Receiving

Run, pass and sweep:

This is a pass and follow exercise with 3 different elements that helps players with fast passing - particularly important when trying to score in the opposition's circle.

Player 1 starts to run with the ball andÂ passes to the player on their left before reaching the 2 cones they are running towards.

The player receiving the ball has to first time sweep the ball to the next player clockwise from them. This player receives the ball and restarts the practice, still going clockwise around the square.

Every player should follow their own pass to the back of the next line of players
