Hockey: Defending in pairs

Excellent, used the drills at our first training session today with...
Shane, Hockey Coach

DESCRIPTION

Players from the 23 metre line pass the ball to a player in the goal.
This player, on receiving the ball, can try to run the ball, under control, out of the area across the 23 metre line.
Players coming from the 23m line have to try and win the ball and score a goal.

COACHING POINTS

  • First defender should channel the player (keep attacker going one way).
  • Two other defenders should cover, and communicate to the front defender.
