Hockey: Quick shot

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

Laura, Hockey Coach

DESCRIPTION

Pass and follow to a player positioned just outside the circle
or inside if that is relevant to your team.
one thing obout staying out side the circle is that the defenders are not 100% concerned about you because your not in a scoring position so they tend to loose mark.

to put some pressure on the placement of the first touch you could put some clusters of cones just in side the circle (pretend defenders)

COACHING POINTS

Make sure you have enough balls.

Players receiving should sit low (just outside the circle)and try with their first to touch play the ball into the circle and shoot with their second touch as qiuck as possible.

Quick Shot Relay:

The practice starts with the first red player dribbling their ball to the goal line before passing the ball back to the player who is on the penalty spot.

The player receiving the ball then shoots at goal and the player who made the pass (red player 1) carries on their run to the penalty spot to replace player 4.

The same happens on the left hand side and the practice continues to loop around alternating from the the right and then the left.

Shooting & Goalscoring

Pass and score:

Players line up in two groups outside the 23 metre area.
Player on the left, passes the ball to a player on the right running towards the goal. On receiving the ball this player runs into the circle and shoots at goal.

After passing the ball, the player on the left runs towards the goal and receives the pass from the player on the left etc.
