Hockey drills

  • 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.

Play a 2-1 and try to score in the goal.
If the defender captures the ball, he passes it to the next duo.
Alternate the defender.

There is a square just outside the 23 in the middle.
3 teams between 4 and 6 players.

  • Team A starts attacking from the right, trying to score;
  • Pay attention to scoring positions (guard, spot, 2nd pole);
  • If team A scores, the coach throws in a bonus ball
  • If the ball goes out, it is for team B(defence)
    • Team B's task is to play into team C's position;
    • Team C then moves the ball to the right and starts attacking.
    • Team A then goes to defend


Purpose
: To get warm through a combination of passing, running, and picking up in the run and from standstill.

Format
:This exercise is also known from volleyball. The pawns are not exactly in a triangle. It is possible, depending on the number of players, to set up a multiple of the exercise.

  1. The player at A passes the ball straight to the player at B.
  2. The player at B plays the ball to the player at C and runs towards point A.
  3. The player at C receives the ball at point D and passes it to point A.
  4. For the changeover, A runs to B, B via D to C and C to A.

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)

Purpose
: Various technical forms to warm up.

Format
:The exercise can be set up one-sided or two-sided. This depends on the number of players in the training.

  1. At point A, the player makes a drag and passes the pawns. Then he passes to the player at point B.
  2. The player at point B takes the ball and dribbles to point C. From there he passes to the player at point C.
  3. The player receives the ball and turns towards the goal, completing the pass
  4. Before turning, you run after the ball. Point D rejoins point A again.


dynamic-warm-up

Variations:

  • You can set up the exercise single-sided and double-sided.
  • You can also choose to warm up the goalkeeper in this way.
  • At C, you can switch sides. If you are coming from the right, play the ball to the right, so that you can practise from both sides.


Points of attention:

  • This is a good time to look at different techniques of your players and polish them.
  • When turning and dribbling, the ball must stay on the stick.
  • There is only one point at C, so players should not get in each other's way and look for the next ball to enter play.
  • All balls are played into the forehand of the teammates.

Goal
:As an attack is to get the most out of your attackAs a
defense is to defend smartly.

Set-up:

  • The field is up to the dotted line.
  • The attackers take the ball from somewhere on the dotted line and must try to score.
  • The defenders must try to defend the ball from the outside.
  • The attackers score 3 points when they score; 2 points when they force a corner and 1 point when they have a good scoring chance.
  • The defenders get 3 points when they defend the ball by playing in between the pawns; 2 points when they get a free hit and 1 point when they manage to play the ball over the touchline.
    NB When defenders score, the ball does not have to be run between the pawns or accepted behind the pawns.


party-inside-the-dotted-line

Variations:

  • Adjust the size of those teams according to the amount of players available. You can also have one team on the sidelines and play a 2 to 3 minute game each time. That way there is a break and the players have time to discuss and analyse.
  • The scoring pawns for the defenders can also be made smaller.
  • You can play with a 'chameleon' and thus give the attackers an overtal when scoring is not going well.


Points of attention:

  • Make sure it is clear who is picking up which man.
  • As defenders, try to keep a low profile and prevent fouls.
  • As the attackers, try to actively look for a foot.
  • Look for opportunities to double-team When you, as the defender, realise that your man is not being active enough in the attack, help your buddy defend and push the attacker into a corner
  • As the attacker, look for the backhand of your opponent. A right-wing attack is therefore often easier to execute than the other way around


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

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.
