I really appreciate the Hockey Coaching on Sportplan. The senior girls...

DESCRIPTION

Pass and follow with a wall pass.

Player 1 passes the ball for a wall pass to player after receiving the ball back. Player 1 passes the ball to player 4. Player 4 does a wall pass with player 3 and receives the ball back. Player 4 then continues and plays a 2v1 at the top of the circle against the defender (only allowed to defend outside the circle.

After your shot you swap with one of the wall passers by the cone on the 23 metre line.

COACHING POINTS

Wall Pass can be one or two touches

It is important that the initial passes are still quality in order to keep this drill flowing

PROGRESSION

Add in extra attacker and defender to create a 2 vs 1 goal scoring opportunity at the end

Only add in an extra defender to create a 1 vs 1 goal scoring opportunity

Making Space:

Players move as shown in the diagram. Player at the front of the queue passes to the player on the wing who is moving from side to side waiting for the pass.

They then run up the line and then cut back and pass to the player waiting in the circle who then shoots at goal. Players involved then move round and play starts again.

Passing & Receiving

Adding to the pass:

Player 1 passes the ball to player 2, who lets the ball run across the body and runs with the ball to the next cone. He or she dummies to hit the pass wide but hits it under the arm into the path of player 3 running infield. Player 3 receives the ball on the move and shoots at goal.

Rotation 1-2,2-3,3-1

Pass and Follow Pattern:

It is possible to set up any pattern of play and practice it with the pass and follow exercise. This one is just one example of a switch from left to right to create a goal chance.

Passing & Receiving

Pass and follow exercise:

A good warm-up before the game is to start with some players with balls outside the 23m area. Put some other players 5-10m apart 3 down each side. A player starts the pass and follow chain with the last player to receive the ball having a shot, and returning to the start.
