Implementation

General

• Play direction of the game
• Goals in the middle of the field to stimulate awareness of the context of the game (from where do I defend, where do I score?).
• 1:1 : the trainer plays a ball to Orange 1 or Blue 2. Defender's goal is to prevent a goal and score himself.
• 2:1 : The trainer plays a ball to Orange 1 or Blue 2. When Orange 1 gets the ball, Orange 3 can join in the playing field of Orange 1
• Orange 1 and 2 play a 2:1 on Blue 4 (same if Orange 3 gets the ball (Section B)).
• 2:2 : Same as 2:1, but if Blue 2 gets the ball, Blue 4 may join the attack in the section of Orange 1 (Section A).
  Tips on ball possession
  
• Perform a feint when passing.
• Cut in after the passing action; protect the ball from the defender.

Tips on non-ball possession

• Find your opponent as quickly as possible.
• Keep your stick on the ball.
• Keep the opponent in front of you (on the forehand).
• ps changeover

At loss of ball:

• Put direct pressure on the ball handler, cut the shortest path to the goal.

On winning the ball:

• Perform a quick action/goal attempt towards goals.
• Making it easier
• Change the start location regularly.

Make it more difficult

• Vary the speed of throw.

• Orange 1 passes to Blue 2.
• Blue 2, 3, 4 try to score in the 2 little goals on the back line.
• Orange 1 tries to get in possession of the ball by defending on its strong side (fh). If he succeeds, he can score in the goal on the middle line (1½ meter wide).
• The exercise is started again when:
• Blue scores in 1 of the 2 goals on the back line at Orange.
• Orange 1 scores in the conversion in the goal of Blue.
• The ball goes over the back line.

Tips Ball possession

• Threaten with the ball and speed towards the goal.
• Look at each other as attackers when offering the ball.
• Help the ball carrier by running away from the ball.

Tips on no ball possession

• Guide with stick on the ground, forehand at ball height.
• Stay out of the ball carrier's physical space.
• Keep the ball on your forehand side. or v2 to create a 1:2 situation (double).

Passing tips

• At loss of possession: Pressure the ball immediately, cut off the shortest path to the goal.

goal.

• When gaining the ball: Keep the ball in quick action/goal attempt towards the goal.

Make it more difficult

• Use 1 goal instead of 2.
• Vary the tackling.

• Players stand with their backs to each other.
• At a distance of 10 m from each player stands a pawn with a ball on it.
• At the whistle or START, the players run to the pawn, both grab the ball, run back to each other and hand each other the ball.
• Then the players run to the pawn with the new ball and place the ball on it.
• Then they both run back to the middle and finish with their backs to each other.
• It is possible to do this in a relay race or several times in a row.

• Two teams with substitutes, substitutions are made when a goal is scored.
• Each person defends a goal, on each field there are 5 goals,
• so there are also 5 people who defend these goals.
• If a goal is scored in your goal, you have to sit on the sidelines and you become a substitute.
• A new player (substitute) from the side enters the field and will defend the goal.
• If a goal is scored, it is 1 point.
• The team that has the most points at the end of the game is the winner.

• Someone runs in from the red, takes the ball in the run and runs away strongly,
• he/she plays it to the other person who is standing near red.
• Green comes running in, takes the ball in the run and turns away strongly, playing to the other person who is standing near green.

• 2 pawns face each other,
  • at a random distance (depends on whether you want to push or flatten, for example).
• Player 1 and 3 stand with pawn A.
• Player 2 stands at pawn B.
• 1 plays the ball to player 2,
• 2 receives the ball.
• After player 1 passes the ball, he runs after his ball towards pion B.
• When player 2 has passed again he runs in the direction of pion A.
• etc. etcde
• You can play this exercise with minimum 3 players, maximum 5 otherwise the intensity will be very low.

Overplaying to score

• Two players continuously play the ball over
• until one of them is so close to the goal
• that he can score in the goal.

Variation 2-1 situation:

• Under pressure from the defender, the attackers must now play together and try to score.
• The defender can score a point by conquering the ball and then dribbling over the dead ball line.
• This is the short side without a goal.

• divide the team by 2 and run it.
• Sit on top and blow the whistle on any fouls called
• so they get used to it.

• A slalom exercise
• watch how the hands are holding the stick
• where they have the ball
• And if they use the stick properly when they run through the exercise!
• If it goes well, you can make a game of it and see if they master this. The team that has been through all the exercises first has won.

• Two players stand behind each other. Around them 4 pawns in an angle: 3 next to them/2 behind them
• The ball is passed to the player in front.
• She runs around the pawn in front, turns left and plays the second player between the pawns.
• The second player rebounds between the cones.
• This repeats itself, then the first player finishes on goal.

• Players divided into two groups on one side of the field.
• Two rows of cones next to each other.
• Players pass the ball back and forth while walking past the cones.
• Variations
  • Individuals keep ball high along a row of cones, both groups independent of each other.
  • Passing the ball two by two
  • Individually dribble two balls at the same time, slalom through the cones
  • Pass the ball and dribble a second ball at the same time (player says yes).
  • Three of you play over 2 balls to the other side.

Goal

• To practise running through the ball in motion (accepting in the run).

Set up

• 2 players stand in a line (e.g. sideline)
• and 1 player stands 10-20 metres away.
• The first player of the team runs a few metres and then passes the ball to the second player.
• and passes the ball to the person standing alone.
• He starts running roughly at the time of the pass.
• This way, he runs through the ball at the moment he takes over.
• The person who passed then moves to the 1-ling position
• The exercise can be made more difficult by lengthening the distance between passes In addition, a passing move can be made before the pass.
