Hockey: Triple Possession Game - 6 against 3

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

Petra

DESCRIPTION

Split your players up into 3 equal teams of 3 or 2.

2 teams combine (Blue and Yellow in this case) to keep possession while the red work hard to make the interception.

When the defending team win the ball/make the interception the team that lost the ball must now defend and the team that was defending (red) now combine with the other team to keep possession in a 6v3 game.

COACHING POINTS

It's very important to keep the game real, so any fouls and hits ins should be taken as normal.

Support and Swap:

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.

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

4 v 2 in area:

Players are trying to keep possession of the ball for as long as possible. Players inside the area can use the two players on the outside of the grid to help them keep the ball.

Warm-up Games

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.
