Hockey: Working in the D - 3 v 2

Hit the target and test the keeper! Improve your players' shooting percentage!

Take aim and fire! Hit the target and test the keeper with this session, designed to improve your players' shooting percentage

This challenge requires two teams; team 1 has to try and score with two touches (1st into the circle 2nd to shoot).

Team 2's players have to try and stop team 1 having a shot (they can start defending when player 1 has made the first touch).

Scoring:

Team 1 score a point for a shot at goal, and score 2 for a goal.

Team 1 starts with 3 lives. They lose one each time they are stopped or miss the goal.

When all lives are lost teams swap round.

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.

Player 1 passes the ball into the circle to player 2 or 3, avoiding the defending player, on the edge of the circle, who can only try and intercept the pass.

The receiving players in the circle try and score a goal past the keeper.

Player at the top of the circle receives the ball with his/her back to the goal. Then turns with one touch, either left or right and shoots at goal. Shooting with either the flat reverse stick or the forehand.

Each time the passer runs to the circle to become the next receiver and shooter.
