Hockey: 3 Man Weave

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

Laura, Hockey Coach

DESCRIPTION

- Three lines
- Ball starts in the middle
- Player makes a pass and then runs behind the player they have just passed to
- Periodic passing pattern
- Finish with a shot at goal

COACHING POINTS

- When passing left, the ball should be received on the back foot
- When passing right, the ball should be received on the front foot
- The player who crosses the dotted line with the ball should be shooting
- Shot should be taken as soon as the ball crosses the D line
- Remain as narrow as possible (wide players in line with posts)

PROGRESSION

- Have forwards follow the ball in looking for deflections and effectively widening the goal

OFTEN USED WITH...

Two player square passing:

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

Passing & Receiving

2 player passing pattern:

A. Player 1 passes the ball to player 2.

B. Player 1 then follows his/her own pass.

C. Player 2 passes the ball back to player 1 for a wall pass back in the space

D. Player 2 runs onto the ball and has a shot at goal.

Passing & Receiving

Adding to the pass:

Player 1 passes the ball to player 2, who lets the ball run across the body and runs with the ball to the next cone. He or she dummies to hit the pass wide but hits it under the arm into the path of player 3 running infield. Player 3 receives the ball on the move and shoots at goal.
