Hockey: 3 vs 1 - Swap grids

Why let them have the ball!? Just keep it for yourself instead! Create goal scoring chances from just keeping the ball.

Set out 2 grids that are attached by a common line with 3 attackers and 1 defender in each.

3 Players, with one ball, in one grid keep possession of the ball and try to pass the ball to the other three players in the other grid.

Once they have done this the other three players must also try to keep possession in order to once again pass the ball back into the other grid.

The players must start shown in the picture, standing on alternate cones.

The practice becomes live as soon as the first pass is played by the player with the ball on the half way line.

1 has to play the ball to player 2 as the first pass, after this any pass is allowed.

The attack has to take place within the channel of cones.

Set out 2 grids that are attached by a common line with 3 attackers and 1 defender in each and an extra defender who is allowed to move into whichever grid has the ball.

3 Players, with one ball, in one grid keep possession of the ball and try to pass the ball to the other three players in the other grid.

Once they have done this the other three players must also try to keep possession in order to once again pass the ball back into the other grid.

One of the four defenders in the circle passes the ball from inside the circle to the 4 forwards on the half way line.

As the moment of the pass two defenders have to run around one of the cones on the 23m line before they can defend, the other two defenders can defend straight away.
