Hockey drills for technique strength
- Flat
- Open reception,
- Accelerate & push pass out of the barrel (alternate with other techniques such as stroke, push pass, backhand pass).
- A flats to B (A runs after own ball);
- B takes it open and runs around the pilon.
- B accelerates with the ball stuck to the stick and plays the ball through the gates to A.
- Resumption
- The exercises can be played in 2 variations: the one for real beginning hockey players (this exercise can be used for a clinic for example) and the one for beginning hockey players who have already been in contact with hockey.
- Variant 1:
- Player 1 plays the ball to player 2, he takes the ball and passes on to player 3.
- Player 3 takes the ball and shoots at goal.
- Player 4 tries to stop the ball with the bottom of the foot or with the stick.
- Player 4 picks up the ball and joins the row at the back of the starting pilon of player 1.
- For safety's sake, don't shoot at goal when player 4 takes the ball.
- The balls can also be taken out of the goal later on or use a break for that.
- This is for safety reasons.
- all players sit on one half in a circle
- everyone has a ball
- Legs are stretched on the floor
- 1st exercise = everyone passes the ball to the left
- 2nd exercise = everyone passes the ball to the right
- 3rd exercise = do the same with a pair of "medizin" balls or 1 or 2 "medizin" balls in between the normal balls
- now in planking position or push-up position
- 1st exercise = everyone rolls the ball underneath them to the next player to the left
- 2nd exercise = everyone rolls the ball underneath them to the next player to the right
- 3rd exercise = now the ball can also be rolled to another player e.g. to the other side
- Player starts at the blue pilon and runs inwards.
- While running he receives the ball and continues.
- Before the player reaches the red pilon, the ball must be passed on to the next player.
- The centre mid player passes to the left half, left half to the left front.
- Left front puts it back in front of the striker.
- Striker crosses it and right front scores with a tip-in.
