Copy of warming up exercise

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

DESCRIPTION

Warming up 1 

  • couples, 1 ball
  • no 1 + no 2 about 3 m away from each other
  • no 1 plays ball softly, no 2 stops with block tackle posture and leave ball there
  • No 2 runs backwards, no 1 runs to ball and plays again on no 2 etc. 
  • On other end change roles, then no 2 plays and no 1 stops with block tackle 

Warming up 2 

  • same couples, 1 ball
  • again 3 m away. 
  • No 1 plays on reverse of No 2. He traps ball with low reverse stick and plays ball back to no 1 who ran a bit forward.
  • No 2 runs backwards and gets ball on reverse again etc. 
  • other end = change roles

COACHING POINTS

Important:

* stick flat on ground, thus left hand on ground. 

* with 1 handed reverse block tackle stick diagonal forward in front of your left foot, so ball rolls to your forehand + you are strong that way. .
