Hockey: Passing Relays

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

Shane, Hockey Coach

DESCRIPTION

Passing ball around the outside of the cones. While another team is running a relay around the outside square. How many passes can the passing team do in the time the relay team does 8 runs. Then vice-versa.

COACHING POINTS

Make sure the team dribbling are carrying the ball correctly to maximise their dribbling speed (with their hand slightly further up the stick, allowing a more upright dribble)

Pass and Follow:

Players pass and follow the ball each time to the next cone.
It is important to follow the following progressions: 1 - run and follow 2 - run/pass and follow 3 - pass and follow.

Passing & Receiving

PAssing pattern:

Player 1 runs around the cone and receives the ball from the opposite wing (2). After receiving the ball, player 1 plays a DOUBLE wall pass with one of the forwards (3) and takes their position whilst this player goes off to score. Then the player that started the practice runs around the cone and the whole passing sequence follows again.

Passing & Receiving

All the Way Across:

Teams of 4 try and pass the ball across the pitch as quickly as possible, not missing any players out.

Each player should at least touch the ball twice. The first team to pass the ball 10 times across the pitch is the winner.

Passing & Receiving

Pass and Move:

Players have to pass the ball around the outside of the square with only 3 players. To make this possible, the player after the pass has to move to the empty corner (any direction).
