Hockey drills for technique attack / offense

• Attack through the middle which starts with a 2:1 
• B is a deep man starting in the circle. A starts with the ball and together with B he wants to complete the goal. 
• C wants to slow down the game and close the pass lines so that D gives the time to come and help him. 
• Goal of attackers:
  • Ball pass over the opponent's backhand side.
  • Playing a fellow player on the forehand
  • Making eye contact with your fellow player
  • Speed making 
• Goal of the defender
  • Float your opponent to your forehand (your backhand side must be closed)
  • Accompany your opponent 
  • Slow down the game so that D gives time to come and help you 
• When D has arrived, one goes on the deep man and the other puts effective pressure on the opponent and waits with the ball take away until the opponent makes the mistake.

• An extension to the exercise of an attack over right under defenders. 
• The goal of the exercise is that the 3 attackers want to get past the two defenders in an effective way. 
• First have them do it again a number of times. After that the exercise that they have done for this purpose will come back. 
  • This is exactly what they have to do, only now there are defenders and they have to watch even more and give the safe pass.  
• The first ball of A always goes back and from there they can build up.
• It then becomes a 3:2 

• A game form where switching is tested. 
• You make two teams, if you score one goal you can take the ball out immediately and you will score on the other side. 
  • This means that both teams have to switch because they are now coming towards the other goal. 

• Player 1 passes the ball to player 3 who has been caught.
• Player 3 spins the ball even further around the pilons and passes the ball to the red pilon to which player 2 has been caught.
• Player 1 has walked in to the head of the circle, player 1 gets the ball from player 2 and finishes at goal.

• Player 1 walks to the right pole of the goal
• Player 2 plays the ball towards the blue pilon and allows player 1 to tip the ball in the loop.
• Player 2 runs to the left pole of the goal
• Player 3 plays the ball towards the red pilon and allows player 2 to tip the ball in the loop
• By swapping:
  • 1 --> 2
  • 2 --> 3 
  • 3--> 1

• V1 passes the ball to V2. 
• V2 takes on open/closed and finishes at goal.
• V1 passes the ball to A1.
• A1 attacks, V2 defends.
• V1 passes the ball to A2.
• A2 coincides with A1, V2 defends.
• V1 passes the ball to A3.
• A3 attacks together with A1 and A2, V1 and V2 defends.
• Points of attention:
  • Let the defenders choose who they go for, on the ball or continue to cover their man.
  • Attackers must keep moving.
• The exercise can be played on two sides. 

• There are 2 passers on the PC points on the back line to the right and left of the goal. 
• The player starts behind the 25 yard line, receives the ball from the left, gets the ball to the semi-circle and then has to score. 
• This player then sprints past the penalty mark, then sprints back behind the 25 yard line, and then has to run back towards the goal to receive the pass from the other attacker (right) and do the same (scoring, sprint past the strokepunt/puntball point and back to the 25 yard line)

• Use pilons to set up two squares 
• Around the dotted head circle (left and right next to/opposite the goal) 

• The game starts with a pass from player 1 to player 2
• Player two gives a clean pass along the line
• Whereupon player 3 runs towards the line to receive the ball with a backhand
• Player 4 runs along the pilon and positions himself on the top of the circle or continues running by the tip.

• A starts with the ball and plays the ball to B (defender must not intercept)
• B then has to play the ball back to A (defender may intercept this ball)
• When A has the ball again he plays it back to C 
• C takes the ball and plays a 2 against 1 together with A who has ran through
• Tips for attackers:
• Keep speed in your game
• Play over backhand side of opponent
• See where your fellow player is standing
• Tips for Defenders
• Push them to the side 
• Close the pass line between the attackers.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

The player with the red pilon is ready for the long corner. This player plays the ball to the left and gives the ball to the player coming from the white pilon. The player of the white pilon plays the ball as hard as possible into the circle (towards the goal). 

When the long corner is taken, the players try to run into the blue and orange pilon and intercept the ball. The player who intercepts the ball scores on the back line and the other player scores on the 23-m line. It becomes a 1 to 1.

Swap: Red - White - Blue - Orange - Red

Attention: The player who takes the long corner stands ready as if he himself is going towards the circle. Pass the ball hard and low towards the dot. 

• Each team has 2 goals. (see rules triple hockey).
• 3 against 3 where 5x passes is 1 point (if the ball is intercepted, start counting again).
• possibly 3 against 2 games with 1 player (trainer?)
• always with the attacking team (complicated exercise!)
