Control Formation

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

DESCRIPTION

Back four, inverted midfield, three strikers. 

Good for: Build up, counter control, confusing oppositions. 

 

COACHING POINTS

Def: Back four, encourage a wing half to get forward and join the attack. 

 

Mid: 2 controllers and an attacking mid. Controllers or defensive mids play deeper and help the back four to outlett and control the game, 1 needs to join the attack and the other is a pivot player.

 

Str: Width is important as mids aren't always working in traditional right, mid and left spots. Movement offf the ball is important and need to have one striker linking with the mids. 

 

If full pressing the attacking mid takes care of the oppostion centre half and the controllers take car of the other mids.
