Inverted Attack v Defence

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

DESCRIPTION

Description

Queue of attackers start right baseline and defenders left halfway. Balls near halfway line.

Attackers try to score in main goal. Defemders win possession and work the ball to the blue zone nearest queue.

V1 - 6 v 4 (try to keep 4 defenders from the same squads and attackers from same squad0

V2 - add player to A&D each round - always one more attacker. 2v1, 3v2, 4v3 etc.

V3 - Coach calls number of attackers followed by number of defenders. Squads will become mixed.

Coaching Points

All about organisation and shape in moments of transition.

V1 Attack - forward 5 with pivot. What are the goals. Where do we want to be positioned? How do we stretch, move and make it difficult for the defence to organise?

V1 Defence - Identify the biggest danger early - slow down the attack and organise shape. Work through the traffic lights to dictate the play and win the ball.

V2 - prepare in the queue for strategy. How to use overload

V2 - won't know how many players you have or who they will be. Will need to react and apply learning from previous versions.
