Breaking Free from Midfield

Excellent drills, very detailed videos. Useful site for my U15 boys...
Parry, U15 boys Hockey Coach

DESCRIPTION

3 vs. 2 at the back of the half, aiming to get enough space to aim a long pass to a leading forward. Then 1 vs. 1, forward vs. defender for the goal.

Initiated by a pass from attacker to defender, receive it back and attack. Focus on triangles, using the extra player and using scanning to ensure that the long pass goes as early as possible and isn't wasted.

The forward has to break the mark long enough to receive the ball, so positive and proactive movement is key. Then use the diagonal movement that was practised in the first drill becomes important to get a shot away or expose the feet for an upgrade.
