Hockey: Reverse Stick Dink and Squeeze

I really appreciate the Hockey Coaching on Sportplan. The senior girls...

Petra

DESCRIPTION

- Combining the reverse stick dink and squeeze motion
- Perform the reverse stick dink on the red cones
- Perform the squeeze on the blue

COACHING POINTS

- The collection of the ball after each lift is very important. The ball must be placed into a position in which the next skill can be performed
- Accomplish this with soft hands and a controlled lift

PROGRESSION

- Swap the 2D markers for 3D, requiring larger lifts
- Introduce a passive defender to increase pressure on the ball carrier

OFTEN USED WITH...

Reverse lift:

- Perform a stick dink from left to right
- White cone is a defender, red cones mark the range of their stick you are looking to lift over.

3D skills

Reverse Stick Drink: Advanced:

- This is an elimination lift, with a secondary touch taken in the air
- An advanced skill which makes a mid air interception much more difficult
- Allow the ball carrier the run in the same direction while moving the ball away and back around a defender

3D skills

Forehand lift over stick:

To do this skill the players should run to the left of each wooden stick and reverse stick drag the ball to their right, then forehand lift the ball, under control, over the wooden stick.
