Hockey: 1v1 with restriction line

Player 1 passes the ball to player 2, player 2 has to try and score.

The defender has to start 5 to 10m away from a cone. They have to run round the cone first, before trying to stop player 2 scoring.

Defender can run to touch cone as soon as player 1 has passed the ball to player 2. Rotation 1-2-1.

The front player in the cones is the attacker and they have to move around to create some space for themselves. They then receive the ball from the player at the front of the queue and have to turn, beat the defender and then shoot at goal. The attacker then becomes the defender, the defender goes to the back of the queue and the person at the front of the queue becomes the attacker.

Playing 1v1, try and score. It is important to play at speed and go close round the defender.

Defender has to try and get possession of the ball outside the circle.

Practice 5 times then change.

Split the players up into two groups for a relay type exercise which starts with one player from group 1 running with a ball to the goal on the half way line, trying to score a goal.

As soon as player 1 has had a shot at goal a player from group 2 runs with a ball to the other goal to try to score a goal.

The player that had the first shot (player 1) has to try and defend against the player from group 2. When this player scores or loses the ball to the defender the next player starts from group 1 and the player that has just taken the shot becomes the new defender.

The player that had the first shot and then defended (player 1) goes to the back of theirre queue.
