Hockey: Fast Break from a Turnover

Excellent drills, very detailed videos. Useful site for my U15 boys...

Parry, U15 boys Hockey Coach

DESCRIPTION

- Fast Break off a turnover
- Move the ball from own D to opposition baseline in two passes
- Score a goal from the turnover in 3 passes

COACHING POINTS

- Initial defending is strong. Work as a pair to move the forward to where a comfortable tackle can be made
- The ball is picked up on the baseline on the strongside by getting feet around the ball. This allows the player to see what support he has
- It should be noted the initial ball into the D may not have been the best choice, as there was a two man screen present. May have consider playing the 90 degree pass back and attacking on the angle
- Forward gambles on the 2 defenders missing the ball, and capitalises on the mistake. This attitude should be encouraged on players

Fast break 3v2:

Team 1 attacks team 2. Player on the 23m line starts with the ball and attacks the two defenders from team 2 (while this attack goes on team 3 gets in position to defend against team 2). When team 1 scores or team 2 wins the ball the wide player on the 23m line starts the attack. The other two players from team 2 have to run and support. Best ploy is for the player on the 23m line to hold the ball or run infield along the 23m line to allow the 2 supporting players to join in the attack.

4v2 break:

One of the four defenders in the circle passes the ball from inside the circle to the 4 forwards on the half way line.

As the moment of the pass two defenders have to run around one of the cones on the 23m line before they can defend, the other two defenders can defend straight away.Â

Break from Box:

Defender runs into the box with the ball where the 2 attackers try to take possession of the ball on doing so the 2 attackers break out of the box towards the goal to try and score.

The defender can try to defend back and stop the break.

Dribble through - Defensive zone game:

4 players inside the 23 meter area try to pass the ball through the defensive zone (the space between the 23 meter to the half way line) to the players in the other half.

When the ball has successfully been played across to the other side the opposite team must try and play the ball back through the defensive zone.

The 6 defenders inside the middle zone have to try and intercept the ball and break. When they get the ball they must try and score a goal against the players who lost the ball.
