Points for before the game:
Good quality warm up, don’t doss around
Make sure people know the starting line up -->
Press is ¾ German (you should all know this by now)
Attacking corners like we practised in training
Defensive short corners run a 3-1. we ran through this before the last BUCS match. someone should know what they're doing to be able to explain
Make sure during the game there is a high work rate
Subs will need to run themselves so midfield and attack try to roll on around 8 minutes, defenders about 10-12 minutes
During the game work on keeping the ball, don't make risky passes.
If a channel is not working change the point of attack round the back 4
If we are 1 goal down with not long to go maybe go to a kicking back and play 4 in the midfield. We have done this every game so far so shouldn't be anything new to you!!

England Hockey's rule guidance for 2026/27 takes effect from 1 September. Here are the changes that will actually alter how you coach, and how to brief your squad in one pre-season session.
Turnovers in your own defensive quarter are the most expensive mistakes in hockey. Build an outlet structure your team can execute under a full press, not just in a warm-up.
Summer is the window that decides how your team starts in September. Here is how to build a hockey-specific fitness base with the ball, not just endless running, so players arrive sharp rather than shattered.
