Hockey drills

A dribble/drive course is laid out for the players to follow.
The goal is to get the ball from orange pawn to the green pawn.

The course:
  • a slalom
  • a mine field
  • a round the hoop
  • a sprint to the finish line
So the picture below sets out 2/3 times!

Let the players try the course once first, then you may turn it into a race.
For example, give each team 15 balls and the goal: who first brought all the balls from the pawn to the green hat.
