Zone defence centre restart

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

DESCRIPTION

Centre striker to the left of the ball 

3 stacks 

Outside stacks in line in between push out line and T spot. If they play back 3 moves stacks closer to centre of field.

COACHING POINTS

Centre Striker applys pressure to the back two.

Outside stikers force ball to be played wide. Once this is achieved centre stiker pushes out 

Midfield allow ball to be played into the zone, apply defensive pressure to ensure ball is played back out of the zone and not through it. NO EASY FREE HITS.

Back 3 stay in zone formation do not follow strikers leads across field. Communicate to mid field lines to mark. 

TURN OVER ZONE - down sidelines, once ball is turned over play to midfield to ally for transfer, at the same time strikers stretch to provide more space for AMs to receive and carry.
