3 Goal Game

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

DESCRIPTION

Split group into 2 teams. GKs compete between themselves. 4 players from each team start in the zone.
Ball is played in alternately from team X and team O at the corner putout mark on either side of the goal.
Both teams can attack and score in any of the 3 goals.
Example: Team X is in possession. They can move the ball to attack any goal. Team O works to defend all of the goals.
If the defending team wins the ball, they can attack any goal EXCEPT the goal that the opposing team was attacking.
If the ball goes out of bounds, on the next turn the ball comes in from the opposing team on the opposite side of the goal. **If a goal is scored, the team that scored puts the ball in again.**

Transition play. Speed of reaction after a goal is scored or ball goes out of bounds to figure out where next pass is coming from.
