Backline Pullback Drill

Excellent, used the drills at our first training session today with...
Shane, Hockey Coach

DESCRIPTION

1 passes to 2, who drives ball around cones and then returns ball to 1, who is running in to finish. Then repeat on right-hand side.

Progression:

  • add a defender in the box

COACHING POINTS

This drill is to practice crossing. 

  • 2 should shield the ball well with their body, imagining the cones are the path of the defender.
  • 1 should not stand around waiting for the ball. Post-up / keep your marker moving

Discuss different choices of cross:

  • far/near post
  • square/behind to penalty spot

Questions:

How can you use the overload to overcome the defender?

Scoring: 

Bonus point for shooting high into goal

Follow up this activity with a more game-based attacking activity, i.e. 4v2 in the final quarter.
