Hockey: Creating scoring chances - GK

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

DESCRIPTION

A good fun exercise for scoring goals, and for keepers to have a good work out.

Split the group into teams of four and put 2 or 3 keepers in the circle. The 4 attackers go into the circle with a ball and try to score, they can take as long as they like providing the ball remains in the circle.

COACHING POINTS

The keepers have to try and stop 3 consecutive attacks and the attackers have to score 2 consecutive goals to be the winners.

When one of the teams wins, the losers have to do a forfeit (press-ups, sit-ups etc.).

It is important that when the attackers lose, all the groups do the forfeit, not just the four that missed the last goal to encourage for the notion of playing for each other as a team.

Hold position in the circle, attackers to be patient and play the keepers out of position.

OFTEN USED WITH...

Crossing - From the Left and Right:

Players in the middle pass the ball out to their respective wingers.

The winger receives the ball, and moves down the wing to then cross the ball back to the original passer, who has run into to the circle.

Shooting & Goalscoring

Attacking the circle:

Player 1 runs down the wing to then pass the ball backwards of square to player . He in turn gives the ball to player 3, who has run into the circle and then come out to receive the ball. Player 3 then plays a 1v1 with the defender.

Rotation 1 to 2, 2-3, 3-1.

Same down the right wing.

Shooting & Goalscoring

Back out to the top:

Players with the ball run down the backline and play the ball to the player at the top of the circle this player receives and shoots
players rotate.

Shooting & Goalscoring

Creating 2 v 1:

Player 1 passes the ball back to the supporting player. Player 1 then runs in the opposite direction to which he/she wants to receive the ball. The supporting player plays the ball back, first time, into the space created. Player 1 should time the run so that after receiving the return ball, he/she can play a fast 2v1 with the attacker.
