Hockey: Passing through a line of defence

Description

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.

Coaching points
