Wide Gate Match

I love using Sportplan. It's been a great help for co-ordinating hockey...
Laura, Hockey Coach

DESCRIPTION

Normal match on any size field, but with a wide gate (red cones) on the centre line. 

1st half: ball must be passed OUTSIDE the gate. Encourages inside > outside lead runs in the midfield.

2nd half: ball must be passed THROUGH the gate. Encourages outside > inside runs in midfield.

COACHING POINTS

- L+R defenders/midfielders/attackers create the lead runs and triangular passes. Central players act as the pivots for transfer.

- Anticipate the pass by creating space using a leading run.

- Give & go - continuous support moving up the field.
