Hockey: 3v2 Overload

create forward passes by transferring the ball

The 3 blue players are trying to pass the ball through one of the 3 goals in the middle of the area to one of the three players on the opposite side.

They can do this by running with the ball, dummy passing or transferring the ball between them to draw to two defenders out of position and create space for the pass.

The 2 defenders can only intercept the ball. When they do so they have to try and and pass the ball over the back line behind the 3 blue players who just lost the ball.

The middle attacker starts with the ball.

The drill starts with one of the other attacking players making a diagonal run forward to try and get ahead of the ball carrier.

It is important that the ball carrier does not run forward. Instead they should run in-field to draw one of the defenders and leave space behind defender 1.

If defender 2 does not go with the player running diagonally through, the pass should be given to this player.

However if the defender 2 does go with the runner the player square should be on for a pass.

3 blue and 1 white player start from between the gates (2 cones). Set in the specific areas on the pitsh.

Blue 1 starts with the ball and passes the ball to blue player 2 coming out of the gate. The defender (white) can now try to stop the players scoring.

Player 2 passes the ball back to player 3 and the 3 blues continue to the goal and try to score.

3 players with a ball play 3 v 1 in the first grid.

After a minimum of 2 passes they can go towards the goal and play a 3 v 2.
