Attack > Defend > Rest with Penalty Corners

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

DESCRIPTION

Group: 14-16 players

Playing zone: circle

Procedure:

Divide the players into three teams, each wearing bibs.

One team attacks, one defends, one rests behind the backline.

Play always starts with a penalty corner to the attacking side. Three defenders start in the goal, the others start on the 1/3 pitch line.

Reset + rotate teams whenever a goal is scored or when the ball goes out of the circle. Attacking team > defend, defending team > rest, resting team > attack.

Variations:

  • vary number of defenders in the goal/recovering from the third-pitch line.
  • if defenders clear behind the backline, coach throws in a ball to continue play

COACHING POINTS

This activity practices penalty corners. It is designed for U13 players.

Safety:

Light ball, pushes only, no hitting or slapping, shots below shin level, wear masks.

Note:

  • Teams should rotate their injector and starting positions.
  • Encourage the resting team to plan their next routine.
  • Emphasis is scoring through inventive routines and quick passing, NOT power hitting
