Hockey: Change the Point of Attack

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

DESCRIPTION

2 teams both with a ball. The object is for one of the wingers to get to the back line without being tackled. For a tackler to be released by the other team, the tackler has to receive and leave the ball in the coned area.

When one of the wingers is threatened the team should try and change the point of attack by passing the ball via every player to the other side. To release the other tackler, the ball has to be passed via sweeper.

Attacking from the back:

Team 1 has to pass the ball around the back and never miss out more than 1 player.

Whenever the ball is received by one of the wide players they have to try and get to the half way line without being tackled by one of the opposition wingers. This tackler can only be released by receiving the ball and leaving it in their coned area.

When the player running to the half way line is closed down by one of the tacklers they should try and switch the ball around the back. Team 1 is not allowed to pass the ball through the coned area.

Attacking from the back:

The aim of this exercise is to get the ball behind the three defenders in the zone. On achieving this, start again. Only one player at a time is allowed to run behind the zone.

The ball can either be carried through or passed through the zone.
