Hitting the Ball at Goal

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

DESCRIPTION

- players form a square at top of circle
- ball starts at top
- players pass ball to next player diagonally to them then follow pass
- final player receives ball, controls it, shoots when inside D using either clip hit or hit
Alternative: other side; no goalkeeper/goalkeeper

COACHING POINTS

- clip hit (with smaller backswing) is widely utilised to shoot at goal - quick & deceptive hit
- left hand slides down stick to meet right hand halfway down stick
- advantage of hitting the ball is the speed & lifting off the floor at speed
- hit the ball asap once inside D
