Stairs.
- Player blue starts with the ball at the orange pawn.
- Player blue drives the ball toward the red pawn, pulls the ball under him toward the blue pawn and then accelerates briefly with the backhand around the blue pawn.
- You do this movement three times in a row.
- Then you round on goal.
- Depending on the number of players, put the exercise out once or twice.
Minefield
- Start at the orange pawn and dribble through the minefield towards the goal.
- Keep the ball close to you and try to make sure you don't hit the pawns.
- Once you are past the minefield, round off with a hit on goal.
- Plot the exercise twice, if necessary.
- Party game with two goals and a square in the middle of the field.
- The ball may not be played through the square. In that case the ball is in touch.
- So the idea is to play field hockey outside and not through the axis of the field.
Relay
- Make two equal teams; team red and team blue.
- Start with ball at orange pawn.
- Float a lap around the green pawns and place ball with hand on pawn red.
- Then run a lap around the green pawns without ball and tap the blue pawn with your hand.
- Then walk another circle around the green pawns and take the ball off the red pawn.
- Then drive a circle around the green pawns with ball and pass the ball to the next one.
Note:
- Depending on the number of players, you can have everyone take 1, 2 or 3 turns.
- Once a player has had her/his last turn, she/he sits on the floor.
- If a team has all its players sitting on the ground, they win the relay.
Three color game
- The trainer has three colors of pawns in his hand. Red, white and blue.
- Player blue A takes his turn.
- Trainer first puts color pawn 1 in the air --> For example, pawn white.
- Player blue A starts running towards the edge of the circle and receives the ball from player blue ->.
- The latter then plays the ball through the white gate as the trainer thus puts the white pawn in the air.
- Player A takes the ball through the gate and rounds on goal.
- After his shot, he takes over the spot of the player who passed the ball to him.
- The trainer puts a new color pawn in the air for the next player etc.
Relay 4
- Players blue and red start at the same time with the ball
- Slalom around the 5 pawns --> cross --> around the green pawn and finish on goal.
- If you score, you may immediately choose the shortest path to tap your next teammate.
- If you miss; wide, post or the ball does not reach the goal, you make a detour via the red or blue pawn/triangle.
- Players blue run back via the blue pawn and players red via the red.
- When you have been, you sit on the ground.
- The team that has all players on the ground first wins the relay.
- Depending on the number of players, you may choose to have all players take their turn twice.
- Switch sides halfway through the exercise.
- Last man to RA
- RA to running Mid-Mid
- Mid-Mid to Striker
- Striker shoots or passes to Mid-Mid
Rats versus Ravens
- Players red; the rats and players blue; the ravens all have a ball and stand with their backs to each other.
- Trainer says r(rrrr)atten: all red players drift with ball toward the pawn line; players blue leave their ball and try to tap players red for the line.
- The trainer says r(rrrr)aven: all blue players drive ball toward the pawn line; players red leave their ball and try to tap players blue for the line.
- Reach the line without being tapped, you get a point.
- Tap the player red/ blue before the line you get a point.
- Change opponents frequently.
