Hockey: Break from set piece

Description

Set up the break each time as shown in diagram for a 3 v 1 in the attacking team's favour.

The break starts when the defender (number 1) passes the ball to one of the attacking players.

After this the break is on and the game is played out as normal.

Coaching points

The defenders take it in turns to work.

When they are feeding the ball in to start the break this is their chance to have a rest and catch their breath.
