Hockey: Dribble pass and run

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

Shane, Hockey Coach

DESCRIPTION

Player 1 starts dribbling, player 4 makes a move to the right/left and there is a short wallpass between 1 and 4. After containing the ball it is passed to palyer 2 and then they start off and player 1 takes their place, and so on.

COACHING POINTS

Player 4 is acting as a wall pass. Make sure the pass in and out is timed so that it would eliminate a defender and not simply allow them to step across

PROGRESSION

- Insert a passive defender which the players must wall pass around

Distribution under Pressure:

1 Player passes the ball to the player through the cones then follows it to put pressure on the receiver. The receiver has to try and pass the ball to the player left or right, and then follows the ball to take that players position. The second player receiving the ball runs back to the start.

Dribble Pass and Move:

Dribble then Gate Pass:

White Player 1 dribbles with the ball to the blue cone before passing the ball through the red gates.

Passing & Receiving

Adding to the pass:
