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

DESCRIPTION

Denying space

How to force ball away from certain areas of the pitch and where to force it to

How can we keep the ball in a channel and towards a side line and away from goal as a team

Force the ball somewhere even though we have not got possession

 

1 player in either end zone

2 teams of 3 trying to get ball to other end, other team trying to apply pressure to stop them from getting ball higher up pitch

COACHING POINTS

Individually – think about how far you are from ball carrier when applying pressure. Applying enough for ball carrier to put head down so can’t see goal.

Deny space

Force them out wide

Block channels

Look threatening – use body to close player down

How can I help my teammates – how can I help keep ball in the areas wide

Communication – support player

Much stronger as a team than an individual
