Hockey drills

  • Make two rows of an equal number of players.
  • Players take turns drifting toward the three double pawns.
  • Arriving at the double pawns, do the herring trick three times in a row and then flatten the ball on goal.
Herring trick:
  1. You play the ball to the right of the double pawn and pass it yourself to its left.
  2. Make sure you have control of the ball again before the next double pawn.
  3. So push the ball in a controlled manner.

Party with four goals.

Points of attention:
  • Play with the 3 second rule; take the ball quickly after a foul. Takes longer than 3 seconds, free hit for the opposing team.
  • If it is crowded on one side of the field, move the ball at pace to the other side where there is more space.

Relay
  • Create two equal teams.
  • Start the relay at the coach's signal.
  • The player slaloms around the pawns -both ball and body around the pawns- and rounds on goal -push or flush-.
  • If the player scores, he may immediately sprint back and tap the next player.
  • If the player misses, he must take a detour via the blue pawn -on the side of the field- and then sprint back and tap the next player.
  • When it's your turn, you sit down on the ground.
  • Depending on the number of players, you can also choose to have all players take 2 or 3 turns.
  • The next player may not start until he is tapped by the player in front of him.
  • The team that has all players on the ground first wins the relay.

    • Normal slalom
    • Slalom in which the player's body and ball are to the left or right of the row of pawns.
