7v7 or 6v6 + GK side drills 20 minutes

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

DESCRIPTION

Starting off the session with a game that encourages desired skills such as body position, valuing the ball and movement off the ball. 

(1) The GK will play a game with at least 3 field players, the field player in the middle starts with the ball and gives the keeper a random ball, the keeper must clear to the sides whilst the attackers must try prevent any misplaced ball from getting through them (Up the centre). 

Attackers should mix up balls at keeper with (Knee high flicks, hard hits, placed hits and 1 v 1 dribbling to engage footwork. Move fast and push keeper to be ready for next ball always.

(2) a 6v6 or 7v7 zoned game. there is a defensive, mid and attacking section for each team as shown. The goals are two cones placed beside each other and a shot must hit these cones to be a goal. Key point, the shot can not be taken from atleast 5 or 6 m away from the cones which is a dead zone as shown by the black cones. 

COACHING POINTS

(1) For the GK drill please get a good random variance of shots to test Josh. Quality clearances over quantity please.

(2) Working on valuing the ball as a team and using our body position (Main components of session). Tactically if you provide as little feedback as possible and encourage the boys to try new tactics they will tacitly learn a lot and this game could go on for up to 30 mins.
