2v2 Ladder

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

DESCRIPTION

'Ladder' competition. The aim is to score by carrying over the opponent’s backline. 1-3 min per round. 

After a goal is scored, defending team resets with ball on their backline.

Winner moves up, loser moves down. Winner on 'top' (right-hand) box and loser on 'bottom' (left-hand) pitch stay in their box.

Variations:

  • After scoring, scorers keep the ball and attack the opposite goal line (turn and burn) without resetting.
  • 2v1 or 2v3
  • Keepers can play as extra outfielder (working on footwork, closing down + kicking) or on goal line, score goals by shooting past them

COACHING POINTS

Feedback:

- Eliminate or pass your way to goal
- When to pass? When to eliminate?
- Elimination is risky. Only eliminate:

  • to avoid giving away a goalscoring opportunity
  • to create one for yourself
  • when receiving under pressure

 

This activity can be used to practise elimination and/or defensive skills.

Attacking skills:

  • Elimination techniques, "3D"
  • Wall passes (one-two passes)

Defensive skills:

  • Tackling: block, jab
  • 5Ds (disrupt, delay, deny, dictate, dispossess)
