Hockey: Fast break 3v2

I love using Sportplan. It's been a great help for co-ordinating hockey...

Laura, Hockey Coach

DESCRIPTION

Team 1 attacks team 2. Player on the 23m line starts with the ball and attacks the two defenders from team 2 (while this attack goes on team 3 gets in position to defend against team 2). When team 1 scores or team 2 wins the ball the wide player on the 23m line starts the attack. The other two players from team 2 have to run and support. Best ploy is for the player on the 23m line to hold the ball or run infield along the 23m line to allow the 2 supporting players to join in the attack.

Team relay

Four teams of 3 or 4 players. Put one goal 15m over the half way line so the half way line is the top of the circle.

The four team teams, one playing and one on the 23m line, are working in two partnerships - whites vs blues.

Team 1 starts with the ball and tries to score against team 2. When team 2 gain possession, either after a goal or tackle, they have to pass the ball to team 3 who now can try and score in the other goal.

Team 1 has to run back and defend. When team 1 win the ball they have to pass the ball to team 4 who attack against team 3 etc.

After a team has passed the ball to their partner team they take their place at the 23m line and wait for their chance to attack.

Self Pass

Channelling

Two defenders can work together to channel

Defending Skills

1 v 1 - Channelling

Split your group into two teams - defenders and attackers.

Players with the ball have to run around the cone and try and score. Players without ball also have to run around the cone, and then try and stop the other player scoring.

Defending Skills

Channelling onto the forehand

This exercise is designed to encourage defenders to force attacking players to move onto the defenders forehand

The player with the ball tries to run through between the 2 cones, indicating the maximum 10 points.

This should encourage the defender to try and force the player onto their open stick side, away from this high scoring gate!
