Keep Away

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

DESCRIPTION

Needed? Cones or lines, Balls, 7+ players, pinnies

How? Have all participating players (except for two) dribble with a ball in a designated space. The two players trying without a ball, will try to take the ball from the attackers. If a player's ball is "knocked out" then they become a defender as well and join the defenders in knocking out the balls. When all bals are knocked out point out two new defenders and start over. 

COACHING POINTS

  • Dribbling at the 1 O'clock position
  • Left elbow up
  • Vision up
  • No bumping into each other
  • Keep the ball on the ground, advance into lifting skills
  • Defense: stay low and keep stick on the ground
  • Defense: work together to get people out of the box

Advanced:

To advance the drill you can not allow the attackers without a ball to become defenders, have the two defenders only figure it out and get all the balls out. 

Time it and see how long they take to get all the balls out, now see if they can either improve or if another duo can beat their time.
