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

Receive Back:

Practice starts with player 3 passing the ball to player 2. Who in turn passes the ball to player 1.
Player 3 has run towards the top of the circle to receive the ball form player 1 and shoots at goal.

Rotation of players - 1 moves to 2, 2 moves to 3, 3 moves to 1.

Creating Space to Receive the Ball:

Player 3 runs into the channel. At the same time player 1 passes the ball to player 2. Player 3 has to time the run, so they can run out of the channel once player 2 is ready to pass the ball, not before. Again it is important that player 3 should not have to slow down to receive the ball, and should take the ball while continuing to run and shoot at goal.

Movement off the ball

Two player square passing:

Moving back and forth between two cones players make straight and diagonal passes to each other while moving.

Passing & Receiving

Colour code:

Set out lines of cones in two different colours.

One player always along the red line and the other always along the blue cones.

Players pass the ball to the other player every time they reach a cone, culminating in a switching of sides and changing of passing order when they reach the final cone.
