Hockey drills

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.

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.

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 are changed. 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 with the most points at the end of the game is the winner.

Variation:
First 1 ball, then several balls in the field.

The pass to the right goes diagonally forward and over the backhand side of the defender, the pass to the left you play wide and goes over the forehand side of the defender.

Therefore the pass to the right is preferred over the pass to the left.

• This is a basic exercise in preparation. 
• Just like a tennis player who prepares for training with basic strokes, the players must prepare for the complex training and competition forms, with direct simple passes on top of each other. 
• In this way, the trainer has the ability to see technical errors in each individual player and correct them as early as the basic exercise. 
• The players pass the ball directly between two pylons and walk counter-clockwise to the other side. 
• The size of the target and the distance between the players will be adjusted according to the age and level of the players.

• Blue player receives the ball from the white player each time. (white player distributed)
• Red player runs from stroke point to head circle and receives ball from blue player. 
• Red player shoots on goal.
• After each shot he walks back to stroke point and then receives the next ball from head circle.

  
  

• Players outside the box should replay as often as possible.
• The pass must always pass through the box.
• The players inside the box must try to intercept the ball.
• As soon as the players inside the box have intercepted the ball, they should replay as often as possible inside the box. 
• Each time they have replayed 3 times, someone outside the box may enter the box to recapture the ball.
• As soon as they succeed, they will play to someone outside the box and it will start over again, so at least one player must always remain outside the box to be able to play.
• The field can be larger or smaller, there can be more or less players inside and outside the box.

• Player 1 runs with the ball to the white pilon, player 2 runs without the ball to the white pilon.
• Player 2 rounds off on goal (with backhand).
• Player 1 runs around the pilon where player 2 started and runs to the center of the circle.
• As soon as player 1 has played the ball to player 2, player 3 may start. Player 3 plays the ball to player 4.
• Player 4 runs around the white pilon and plays the ball (with backhand) to player 1 who has run into the circle.

  
  

Make 2 teams. 

• Both teams have their 'own' course, where they can score points (for example by playing over 5 times in their own course).
• The other team is allowed to conquer the ball in the other box, but not everyone from the other team is allowed to enter the other box.
  • The number of players of the other team -1.
• As soon as blue has captured the ball, blue will go to his own square as soon as possible and will play over there as often as possible.
• There may be 3 players of red in the blue box. 
• See example: in team red there are 4 players, so 3 players of blue are allowed to enter the red box.
