Hockey: 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. After each pass, the player should run around one of the cones on the boundary.

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.

The team with the ball must try and keep possession of the ball. Only 2 players from each team are allowed to be inside the area.

1 player can move anywhere on the outside of the area. To involve this player, the players inside the area have to pass the ball to the outside player.

On doing so, the outside player can come into the area and the player that passed the ball becomes the new outside player.
