Two-Box Possession Game

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

DESCRIPTION

Setup:

1/4 pitch, 2 large cone squares. 2 teams. 2 sets of bibs.

Procedure:

Teams can attack any box. 1 neutral GK defends each box.

Each team scores 1pt for passing into a box and back out to a team-mate. 1 player on each team can enter a box to receive a pass. 

Variations:

  • One-Box Possession Game: Start with 2 games on smaller pitches, each containing 1 cone box. Then merge into one large game with 2 boxes
  • Whenever ball goes out of play, coach throws in a random ball 
  • Attacking overload i.e. 5v3. Attackers must make [5] passes before scoring. If defenders can carry the ball outside of the playing zone, they score 1pt, or change the defenders.

If no GKs:

  • 1 neutral outfielder guards each box. Rotate every few minutes. OR
  • 1 player per team in each box, to receive passes/stop oppo from receiving.OR
  • 1 random player per team can enter a box at any time.

COACHING POINTS

Questions/feedback:

  • Play to the space or play into congestion?
  • How do you make the space bigger? (receivers go long and spread out)

GK focus:

  • Footwork
  • Kick-clearing / kick-passing
