Hockey: Reverse Squeeze

Great site. An absolute must for coaches who are willing to change...

Ignatius

DESCRIPTION

- Performing a squeeze on the reverse side
- Useful to eliminate an overcommiting player

COACHING POINTS

- This is a difficult skill, and should only be explored once a player is comfortable using the right to left squeeze
- The right hand is dominant in this movement, with the left hand often hindering the skill. Have players attempt to move with only their right hand to see this
- Further this by reintroducing the left hand, and having them find a comfortable position to hold the stick

PROGRESSION

- Perform strong and weak side squeeze movements in succession
- Introduce a passive defender to put more pressure on the ball carrier

1 v 1 competition:

The aim of the game is to try and score goals from about 2m out.

The length of the game is approximately 2-3 minutes long and starts on the first whistle and stopped on the second whistle.

When the game is stopped it is important that there is a winner on each pitch. In the case of a draw the winner is decided on the throw of a stick (flat or round). Once every pitch has a winner all the winners move up one pitchÂ (so if the player is on pitch 6 he moves to pitch 5). The losers do the opposite, they move one pitch down. The winner on pitch 1 and the loser on the lowest pitch have nowhere to move so they stay on their pitches.

Once everyone has moved the game can start again.

Eliminating a Player
