Hockey: Pass and follow exercise

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

Laura, Hockey Coach

DESCRIPTION

This exercise is to teach players to run on to a ball passed into space. The ball, when played down the right wing, has to be received by the players with the reverse stick side. Players should follow their own pass each time. Pass and follow sequence 1-2-3-4-5-1.
The exercise would work the same on the left wing, only players would receive the ball on the forehand side.

COACHING POINTS

Player receiving should try not to move into the space before the ball is played.

Players passing, should learn to pass the ball for the receiving player to be able to run on to the ball.

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

Pass and follow exercise, this exercise is about creating space.:

When player 2 receives the ball, player 3 creates a space behind them, for player 2 to pass the ball in for player 4 to run onto and receive. Player 4 can then cross the ball to the player 5 who has a shot at goal.
Every player then rotates to the next position.

Shooting & Goalscoring

Pass across the top of circle to score:

Blue player 1 runs around the cone and receives the ball from Red player 1 as they reach the cone, before entering the circle and shooting at goal. Blue player 2 then runs around the cone and passes the ball to Red player 2 who receives the ball and runs on to shoot at goal.

Shooting & Goalscoring

Attacking the circle:
