Hockey: Combinations - Deflections

I love using Sportplan. It's been a great help for co-ordinating hockey...
Laura, Hockey Coach

DESCRIPTION

Drill to reinforce movement on the pitch. The player that started the move will score the deflection from the second or third pass. This will emphasise the need for rotation and dynamic movements.

COACHING POINTS

  • Note a player must cover the advancing defender in case of a counter attack.

    Combinations - Dynamic Actions:

    Drill to work on the movement of players to build an attack. The shot can either come near post if the goal keeper is out of position. Ideally the shot should go to the far post, with the other runner there to pick up a deflection if possible.
