Hockey drill: defense exercise
Suitable for the following techniques: defense pass around player
Defense Exercise
- All but one player have a ball.
- The player without ball is the defender and tries to work all the balls out of the square as quickly as possible.
- The players with ball drift through the square and try to keep the ball there as long as possible.
- If the player loses his ball and the defender plays the ball outside the square, the player is finished.
- In that case, he helps the defender to work all the balls out of the square as quickly as possible.
- The player who remains last with ball wins the game.
Points of Attention:
- Emphasize that the players look well over the ball while drifting (head up).
- If a foul is made by the player with ball, he is out. If the defender fouls, it is a free ball for the attacker.
