Warm-up:
Game Related Practice: Foxes and Hares
Aim: Precise passing.
Set-up: 20 x 20m area, balls, hockey sticks, bibs.
One player (fox) starts trying to catch the others (hares). There are three balls amongst the hares. Exercise: The fox tries to catch the hares by touching them. If the fox touches a hare, roles are swapped: the hare becomes the fox.
Rules:
Players (hares) can only be caught if they have no ball
The hares thus have to play the ball to each other to protect one another.
A hare with a ball is protected.
