3D passing and deflection drill.

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

DESCRIPTION

This drill is tailored towards giving confidence on the ball when faced with the opposition and how to get out of trouble. 
Use of 3D skills must be taught before this drill is used as the 3D aspect of it is paramount to its success.

COACHING POINTS

Ensure the drill is done as fast and game like as possible.
Calling for  the pass on post up and then rolling hard to the left.
Pre scan before dragging right and then lifting over the second set of cones. Ensure there is a burst of speed when lifting the ball to get away from the imaginary player.

The pass then needs to be accurate to  the player on the far side so talk about body position and footwork to compose before passing to ensure accuracy.

The change of direction for the reverse lift needs to be quick and not obvious to the defender so again footwork and composure need to be right for this to work. Player needs to slow their run as they approach the second imaginary player so they can fake left and change direction quickly to  the right.

Shield the ball with the body and drive just into the circle to make a very hard hit or slap at the penalty spot for the tip in. This pass has to be hit with power or the deflection wont work.

Make it more game like by adding a defender to track the deflector into the circle and put pressure on them. 

The deflection should be put high into the roof of the net or accross the keeper so their weight is on the other foot so they cannot react in time.
