Hockey: Attacking from deep left

Excellent, used the drills at our first training session today with...
Shane, Hockey Coach

DESCRIPTION

Player 2 (left wing) receives ball from the Player 1 (left midfield) and takes the ball into the zone where the defender can try and win the ball. Just before player 2 loses the ball he/she turns away from the RD and passes the ball to palyer 1. It is important that this player stays outside the 23m area and straight behind player 2. When player 1 receives the ball he/she plays the ball to player 3 who runs into the circle and has a shot at goal.
Every player then follows their own pass. and takes up their new position. Next player then starts.

COACHING POINTS

  • Important that the defender does not spoil the practice.
  • The player running with the ball, has to try and learn to draw the defender and when to stop and use the back pass. If played too early, it means that the defender has not been drawn.

    Changing the Point of Attack | Shooting & Goalscoring

    Changing the Point of Attack:

  • Player 1 passes the ball to player 2.
  • At the same time, player 3 makes a run infield to create space for player 2 to pass the ball ahead of player 4, who runs on to the ball.
  • This player then runs with the ball and passes the ball to player 3, now in the circle.
  • The next group start from player 3, pass to 2 and player 1 makes the space for the ball to be passed to player 5 in the space.
  • Player 2 is the only player staying in position, the rest can constantly swap places.

    1v1 - Scoring Challenge | Shooting & Goalscoring

    1v1 - Scoring Challenge:

    Set up two lines of players as show in the image.

    The players with the ball start from the middle of the pitch on the 23m line and run out towards the side of the pitch.

    The first player (blue) runs with the ball at pace and then stops the ball inside the box in front of the other player.

    The blue player continues their run around the cone in front of them and then runs back inside the area.

    The receiver (red) runs onto the ball left by the first runner and then runs into the D and tries to finish through one of the wide goals.

    The blue player should have continued their run and now tries to put pressure on the receiver's shot.
