Improving Players' Passing Speed

Let's practice one touch hockey (the passing Holy Grail) - Use this session to improve your players' passing accuracy!

OFTEN USED WITH...

Numbers Fitness:

Teams of 3 - 4 players.

Each team numbers themselves 1-2-3-4 and has one ball.

The ball should be passed around the team in numerical order whilst moving around the set area. After each pass, the player should run around one of the cones on the boundary.

Possession

Numbers Intercept:

Teams of 3 - 4 players. Each team numbers themselves 1-2-3-4 and has one ball. The ball should be passed around the team in numerical order whilst moving around the set area.

When the player has passed the ball, he/she can try and intercept the ball from one of the other teams (no tackling). First team to pass the ball 12 times is the winner.

Possession

Kabadi:

Set up with two teams, each team having their own area in which they keep possession by passing the ball around.

The other team can send one player across to try and win the ball for their side. If they manage to win possession the roles reverse and the other team passes the ball inside their own area.

The winning team is the first team to put 10 passes together without losing the ball.

Possession

Passing through a line of defence:

Create 2 end zones either side of a line. 2 players are in each end zone and 2 defenders on the line.

The players in the end zones can pass the ball to each other laterally but the aim is to try and pass the ball from one end zone to the other, without the ball being intercepted by the defenders who can only defend on the line.

See how many passes the teams can score against the defenders.

When the defenders have intercepted the ball 3 times the players who played the last pass change over and become the defenders.
