Box Rondo

Excellent drills, very detailed videos. Useful site for my U15 boys...
Parry, U15 boys Hockey Coach

DESCRIPTION

4-5 players per cone box.

Defender(s) in the box, attackers outside it. Pass around or through the box. Whoever is dispossessed or intercepted switches with the defender.

Variations/progressions:

  • 3v1, 4v1 or 3v2.
  • If 3 attackers, attacker must change to a different side after passing.
  • Defender touch is a turnover.
  • Remove the cones.
  • GK: can be attacker or defender.

To help integrate GK:

  • If attacker, GK starts with tackle immunity until confident with activity.
  • If defender, GK defends in a pair until confident with activity.

COACHING POINTS

I used this as a warmup to a penalty corner practice session.

 

Feedback

  • Attackers: pre-scan so you are ready to pass on receiving. 3 seconds and release.
  • Defenders: be aggressive in closing space and make yourself big.
