Ball Carrier; Where to Pass the Ball

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

DESCRIPTION

- space can be classified into 3 different types with regards to passing

Dangerous space

- located behind 1st line of defenders in closer proximity to goal

- very well defended

- difficult space to keep possession as an attacker

- high risk that passes will be intercepted due to increased no. of defenders

- greatest threat to defence if successful passes

- good chance of creating scoring opportunities if ball gets into area

Advantage Space

- space ahead of ball carrier in direction of attack, between 1st line of defenders & ball carrier

- defending team look to pressure ball carrier so shorter pass well defended by opposing

- passing into space means can move up pitch

Possession Space

- easiest area for attacking team to maintain possession as not much defensive pressure

- space behind ball carrier

- useful for teams wishing to maintain possession & transfer ball from one side of pitch to other
