Hockey drills for technique defense
- 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.
- 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.
- Use pilons to set up two squares
- Around the dotted head circle (left and right next to/opposite the goal)
- 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.
- Each team has 5 inverted pylons to defend.
- The pylons are on the line and the players may only stand/defend on their own half.
- Which team knocks over the pylons of the other first.
- The children are placed in 2 rows.
- The trainer stands just behind the 2 rows and rolls a ball forward.
- The front 2 players try to conquer the ball.
- The player in possession
- drives the ball towards the goal.
- The other tries to conquer the ball again.
- From a marked point, the ball may not be taken away and the player in possession makes a shot at goal.
- You place 11 pylons at different distances, under each pylon you put a stack of city names.
- Each 2 tries to reach all 11 pylons as fast as possible.
- You dribble to a pylon, take a city map and take it back with you, tap the next one and it runs to another pylon.
- Each city you return to the trainer will be stamped on the 11 city card.
- Who reached the 11 cities first?
(first practice without ball and stick)
- defender 1 passes to attacker 1
- attacker 1 to attacker 2
- through pass from attacker 2 to attacker 1
- defender 1 defends on attacker 1 when he has received the through pass
- attacker 2 attacks > 2v1
- Set up a small field.
- Let the children choose fruits of their choice
- Call off those fruits, than the ones that were called out, do a 1v1
- The exercise is meant to simulate a game.
- It is therefore intended that one team consists of the defenders/defending midfielders and the other team consists of the attackers.
- The attackers can score in the normal goal (decide if they can hit high as in the game).
- The defending side can score by driving the ball.
- Over the line of the goals on the half way line.
- The attackers learn to play over and finish at goal and the defending side learns to defend to the outside.
- Purpose; passing over large distances, while running. Finishing and tackleback.
- A plays long pass to B,
- B drives the ball to the right and plays through to C who shoots at goal.
- Once the shot has been completed, the next player on A passes to D
- and D starts a dribble towards the goal (scoring past penalty spot),
- C defends this attack.
- Rotation: A1BCDA2
