Variations:

  • Variations can be made in terms of stroke. (hit, push, flats)
  • The distances can be made larger or smaller to adjust the level of difficulty.
  • Pawns can be placed to play in between. This is to increase the purity. When you make the cones smaller, the degree of difficulty increases.
  • To play the ball from C to D there can be bounced.
  • To play the ball from D to A you can play bounce.
  • You can also place point C on the other side so that you reverse backhand and forehand.
  • When you place point C at 90 degrees from point B, you can do the same exercise, only then you will hit point D from a different angle.
  • When you set up different situations, you can rotate the exercise. Situation A is the standard, in situation B the exercise is mirrored, in situation C the exercise is set up so that point B and C are at 90 degrees from each other and situation D is a mirror of situation C.


Points of attention:

  • As a trainer you can take a good look at the different techniques of your players.
  • Sit low at the take-off.
  • When playing the ball from C to D, the ball may not shoot too far in the direction of A. The intention is that the player coming from B should take the ball at right angles.
  • Play the ball on the forehand where possible.
  • Stand ready to receive the ball. (low to the ground, stick on the ground)

2 attackers and 1 defender.

  • Attacker plays the ball to the other attacker
  • The defender puts pressure
  • The attackers try to score
  • If they succeed, the game starts again.

Finish the training with a match shape on a half pitch

You can adjust the width of the field depending on the size of your team at the training.game-form

  • Position the pawns as shown in the figure
  • Spread the balls on pylons C and D.
  • In this exercise you place a player on the pylons C and D.
  • The rest of the team lines up at the A-post.

  • From A the player walks around the pylon
  • From the pylon, the player makes a sideways movement, facing the ball (facing C)
  • Player C plays the ball into the forehand of A
  • A takes the ball and turns to the right to open
  • A runs towards the circle and finishes on goal.
  • From here he runs to D and receives another ball.
  • The player turns open to the left and again finishes on goal.hockey-practice


hockey-practice

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.

Overplaying to score

Two players continuously play over the ball until one student 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.

Goal: Improve passing. To improve finishing on goal.

Organisation: Half playing field 2 attackers (Z) â€" 1 goalkeeper Course with 1,2-ties, dribbling and finishing on goal. After each pass you have to run to get the ball back from the attacker.

Tip: Before shooting on goal, pay attention to the position of the goalkeeper!

Variations: Practise different passing moves, both anti-clockwise and clockwise.

passing-the-opponent-via-the-weak-side

Try to pass your opponent over his backhand side, which is also your forehand side (and accelerate, when you pass your opponent)

When the ball rolls to the left, you can get it to your forehand with your tip to the right

If the attacker passes the ball back to the support player, the support player can pass the ball to the other side of the field (move the ball).

The defender on the side of the field, where the ball is not, must always stay behind the other defender (in 6-a-side hockey).

  • The players are divided into teams of 3.
  • The game is played 3-3 on different fields.
  • Players can score in 2 goals and therefore have to defend 2 goals as well.


Variation:

  • Take away a goal.
  • Each team can only score on 1 goal
  • and therefore only have to defend 1 goal.

The exercises can be played in 2 variants the variant for really beginning hockey players (this exercise can be used for a clinic for example) and the variant intended for beginning hockey players who have already been in touch with hockey.

Variation 1:

  • Player 1 plays the ball to player 2,
  • Player 2 receives the ball and passes to player 3.
  • Player 3 receives the ball and shoots at goal.
  • Player 4 tries to stop the ball with the bottom of his foot or with his stick.
  • Player 4 retrieves the ball and joins the back of the line at the starting pawn of player 1.
  • For safety's sake don't shoot on target when player 4 picks up the ball.
  • It is also possible to get the balls out of the goal later or use a break for that.
  • This is for safety reasons.
