Coloured gates overload (half pitch)

I really appreciate the Hockey Coaching on Sportplan. The senior girls...
Petra

DESCRIPTION

Attacker and defender start inside the 23m. 2x defender gates and 2x attacker gates on the halfway line.

Coach calls colours to release players from halfway at different points starting with an attacker who carries the ball into the game. E.g. "2 blue, 3 green, 1 yellow".

Can release multiple people from the same gate.

Leave and attacker and defender in the centre for the next round.

COACHING POINTS

Release different numbers of players from each side to create different scenarios and decision making each time.

Make it difficult for the defenders - force them to communicate. Pass defenders on to each other.

Identify where the danger is - when to man-mark and when to mark space. Where to "allow" attackers to have the ball. Defend the 'path to goal'

TRAFFIC LIGHTS - where is the space for attackers to play into. Where are the opportunities for defenders to recover and then dispossess.

delay deny dictate disrupt dispossess
