Hockey drills

• From the two pilons, aim (push/slide) at the inverted pilons.

• 2 groups of 5 hoops.
• All 5 children are standing at a hoop
• One of the kids has the ball and starts pushing to each other.
• Which group is the first to play the ball 3 times around (counterclockwise).
• Of course you can also have 2 groups of 4

• defense intercepts the ball
• the ball is played to the right back
• the middle right pulls in so that the flank is open
• the back right plays the ball into the depths to the striker 
• the striker pulls out to take the ball along the line

• The purpose of the exercise is to make players understand that you have to step in front of your opponent
• and the quick passing of a ball is essential in an attack

• Have 5 attackers practice with the penalty corners
• goalkeeper in goal
• vary with declarers
• different variants
• At the end of the session, discuss 3 variants that can be used in the competition

• The group is divided into 2 groups ( try boys who have to play together in the game across the board (far-mid or all defenders; all midfielders,...))

Playing field : 1/4 of the field over the entire width of the field.

• Exercise : The toss determines which team has ball possession.
• This group tries to visit all the houses on the playing field, after each visit the group has to get a key from the goalkeeper who is standing in a box in the middle of the field.
• You get the key by playing the goalkeeper and he has to kick the ball back to a member of the group.
• The house has to be approached by at least 3 people.
• Then a group member may stand in the house and receive the ball and play it back.
• The team may NOT have someone in the house in advance. 
• Everything goes on time.
• After group 1, group 2 starts. 
• Group 2 has to improve the time of group 1...
• The second version is with defense by the other group. 
• Who scores the most houses in 10 minutes. 
• Scoop is allowed in free space... houses may not be defended by a team...  A house = a square with 4 pilons...
  
  

1. defender 1 passes to attacker 1
2. attacker 1 to attacker 2
3. through pass from attacker 2 to attacker 1
4. defender 1 defends on attacker 1 when he has received the through pass
5. attacker 2 attacks > 2v1

The flower (without or with ball):

• start at pilon 1 > to the center of the flower
• hitting each of the 4 surrounding pilons 1 by 1
• run back to pilon 1
• variations:
  • with stick and ball
  • relay race

• Set up a small field.
• Let the children choose fruits of their choice
• Call off those fruits, than the ones that were called out, do a 1v1 

• This is a good exercise for conditioning: 
• The group has to stand in a row and you let them start dribbling. 
• As soon as the trainer blows his whistle, the last one of the row should run forwards. 
• You do this until everyone has been there and then you let them finish running the track.

• Let the team run for about five minutes and then continue with the following exercises: 
• put out the pilons as shown in figure one.
• Have the team make two rows on the sideline at the height of the 23-metre line.
• Perform the following running exercises on the dotted line: 
• - Knee lifting (constructive 50%, 80%, 100%).
• - Heel to buttocks (building 50%, 80%, 100%).
• - Sideways
• - Cross step.
• - And finally, release the arms.  

• Put out the pilons as shown in figure three, distribute the balls over pilons C and D.
• In this exercise you place one player each at pilons C and D, the rest of the team will line up at pilon A. 
• From A the player runs around the pilon, from the pilon 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 opens to the right, runs towards the circle and finishes at goal.
• From here, he runs towards D and receives another ball.
• The player spins open to the left and finishes on goal again.
