Tip-in Game

I love using Sportplan. It's been a great help for co-ordinating hockey...
Laura, Hockey Coach

DESCRIPTION

2 teams: attackers vs defenders.

Defenders can win the right to attack if they can carry or pass over the attackers' backline.

Tip-in or deflected goals are worth double.

Variation:

- Attacking joker

COACHING POINTS

Encourage:

  • Attacking team all retreat behind yellow line when you lose the ball, but
  • When you win it back, one forward goes high into D, others try to hit a long ball into D right from yellow line.

 

This activity is aimed at lower-level/intermediate U13s.

Aim:

  • To practice deflected/'tip-in' goals
  • To get the ball into the box quickly and test the keeper

Feedback:

  • Can you score from outside the circle? 
  • So is there any point ‘shooting’ toward goal from outside the circle? 
  • What might be the benefit of this? (gets the ball into circle fast, score a tip-in) 
  • To score a tip-in goal, where does your striker need to go as soon as you win the ball? (into the circle)
  • Should the striker just goal-hang? (no, help win the ball back first)
