-same game as last week
- play 3-3 and 4-4
- 1 person each time behind the line
- TEACH THEM TURN OVER PRINCIPLE + THE WHY!!!
The game
- if players gets ball and turns over from defender to attack, play as quickly as posible to A!!
- if player gets ball to A= a goal and other team takes the ball on the line.
- player who plays to A, takes position of A and A joins the game
EXTRA RULE: they can only do pull backs instead of indian!!!
From defender to attacker:
* IPA rule = Intercept – Pass- Action
WHY IPA
When regaining the ball you have 1 person more. You want to accelerate to keep the 2V1 situation!!
And acceleration always means passing instead of dribbling.
One misunderstanding: acceleration doesn't always means going forward. Transfer = also acceleration

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.
