Hockey drills
- Use pilons to set up two squares
- Around the dotted head circle (left and right next to/opposite the goal)
- Keeper on target
- Place 2 gates of pilons on the 23-metre line (the gates are on the left and right side of the goalposts)
- Player red starts on the head circle and accelerates with ball through the gates.
- Immediately after passing the gates, red passes to blue.
- Red sprints around a pilon to put pressure and/or take the ball away from blue.
- After receiving the ball, blue accelerates with ball and runs through the gates.
- If blue passes through the gates, red is not allowed to take the ball and has to go back to the pilon.
- Blue accelerates into the head circle and shoots at the goal.
- Make a triangle with pilons (2 meters between each pilon).
- Player red starts with ball at the pilon 5 meters away from the triangle.
- Player red passes to player blue while he dynamically moves towards and around the triangle.
- Player blue pivots the ball and plays the ball to player white.
- Player white plays the ball back to the starting point (red).
- During the exercise, each player runs behind his/her ball.
- Everybody's got a ball, you're facing each other on the 23-metre line.
- Left and right is a line of pilons.
- The ball is light under your legs, at some point the trainer tells you how to stand (on your left leg, or touch your ankles) then the trainer calls left or right and you have to run to that side as quickly as possible and the ball must lie still on the line with pilons,
- If the ball is still on the line, run back to the 23-metre line as quickly as possible.
- Whoever is first wins.
- The pilons are about 3 or 4 metres from the 23 metre line, on both sides.
- You're facing each other with the ball in the middle,
- the trainer calls head, shoulder, hip, knee and toe as many times as you like and then, at some point, takes the ball and then the players have to take a ball as quickly as possible too.
- Only 1 can win.
- Put out the columns as shown in the figure
- Spread the balls over pylon C and D.
- In this exercise you place a player at pylon C and D.
- The rest of the team will line up at pylon A.
- From A onwards, the player walks around the pylon
- From the post, the player makes a sideways movement facing the ball (facing C).
- Player C plays the ball in the forehand of A
- A takes the ball and turns right open
- A runs in the direction of the circle and finishes at goal.
- From here he runs to D and receives another ball.
- The player turns open to the left and finishes on goal again.
- The tagger should try to tap as many children as possible.
- If you are in danger of getting tapped you can call a television show and then the tagger is not allowed to tap you.
- You have to stand with your legs wide.
- The rest can be relieved by crawling between your legs.
- When you are tapped, you stand by the trainer.
- 2 players give each other a hand and start tapping together (don't let go).
- Player who is tapped gives a 3rd hand and when another player is tapped they form another twin pair.
(each group of four splits).
- One tagger has a stick in one hand and taps with his other hand.
- The tagged player will then hold the stick with it and also tap with it.
- The tagger must not let go of the stick.
- If there is a large group, assign two or more taggers.
- 1 player has a stick and a tagger is assigned;
- only the player who has the stick may be tapped, so the stick is always passed on quickly (vertically for safety reasons and do not throw it!).
- If the tagger doesn't have a chance, add more than one stick to the game.
- Pass the ball to a fellow player under/over the pylons with stick.
- Passes: push, slide and flats.
- Stick at different heights
- increase distance between each other
- pylons closer together (gate smaller)
- Perform the exercise with groups of three
- Each team has 2 goals. (see rules triple hockey).
- 3 against 3 where 5x passes is 1 point (if the ball is intercepted, start counting again).
- possibly 3 against 2 games with 1 player (trainer?)
- always with the attacking team (complicated exercise!)
