Hockey drills
- Goal: to show the player when it is best to pass and when it is best to push.
- In case of a long pass you pass, in case of a short pass you push.
- Player 1 passes (long pass) the ball to player 2
- Player 2 pushes (short pass) the ball to player 3.
- Player 3 passes (long pass) the ball to player 4.
- Player 4 pushes (short pass) the ball to player 5.
- Player 5 passes (long pass) the ball to player 6.
- Player 6 pushes (short pass) the ball to player 7.
- Player 7 runs along the red pilons to the back line and passes (long pass) the ball to player 8, who has entered the circle.
- When explaining the exercise, you can let the player fill in whether it's a long or short pass and what kind of stroke you use, this way they will actively think about it and will apply it earlier in the game.
- Make 2 teams.
- From each team place 2 players outside the box opposite each other.
- The ball starts with one of the players outside the box (in the example red).
- As a team you get a point to play from one side to the other, through the players in the box.
- Make the box smaller to make it more difficult or with fewer players.
- Make the box larger to make it easier or with more players.
- We run as a team from one sideline to the other which is on the other side.
- When we get there we jog back as a team and then jog up and down again.
- We divide the group into two equal groups.
- So that we can perform the warm-up a bit faster
- We jog to the first pilon there you run backwards back to your starting position.
- Then you jog to the second pilon, when you get there you go back to the first pilon.
- Until you reach the end of the jog you go back to the first pilon twice.
- Knee lift to the pilon
- heels to buttocks to the next pilon
- Then lift knee again
- The last one is again heel to buttocks 2x
- You start waving your arm forward to the end of the line, back with your right arm.
- Now you're going to swing two arms forward to the end of the line, back with your arms backwards.
- We jog to the second pilon from there and accelerate with a sideways pass to the pilon on your left or right.
- Once there you accelerate again with a forward motion to the pilon in front of you. 2x
- The last one is that we will sprint, you jump 3 times in the light and then perform a constructive sprint to the center of the field or the indicated pilon. 2x
- After this we take a short time to stretch the muscles.
