Amy Lawton: 3-touch box game (6 v 3) - SET UP TWO OF THE DIAGRAMS

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

DESCRIPTION

1. Yellow player must make one pass to their teammates before contested live play. ALWAYS 2 ATTACKING PLAYERS IN MIDDLE OF BOX AND 4 IN BOX PERIMETER.

2. 3 defenders in middle of box try to stay connected together to pressure attackers. 

3. Attackers can only take MAXIMUM 3 touches before making pass (vision).

4. Attackers aim to make 10 PASSES before switching defenders and subbing resting players.

COACHING POINTS

  • If lower skill group, may need to remove touch limit. Higher skill group, only two touches or one touch.
  • If high group numbers, increase the size of box and players involved (7 v 4 etc) 


1. Knowing your next pass: connect with players before receiving.

2. Quality of pass to help (not hinder) a teammate under pressure. 

3. Movement off the ball. Don't stay static. Rotate in with the players in the middle during play.
