Attack vs W-Defence

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

DESCRIPTION

Attacking 6 start with ball on halfway vs defensive 5.

Defenders are set up trying to keep the shape of a defensive W. 2 centre backs and 3 in front.

Attacking team aims to score, if there is a turnover the defending team tries to work the ball into one of the orange areas on the halfway line.

If the ball goes out of play the game resets. Defenders must touch the line of the D and new attacking 6 starts.

Coach in control of when to reset. Give enough time to avoid frustration, but be conscious of the group waiting.

COACHING POINTS

Teaching a zonal defeding system. Get defenders used to controlling their structure to close off the passing angles. Work closely as a centre back pairing.

Attackers look to break down the structure. Short leads and quick passes in and out of the gaps. Look for 2v1 opportunities."Tempt" the defenders out of position - give them difficult decisions to make.

When defenders gain posession, use the centre back pivot to create dangerous passing angles
