Field Hockey: Deflection from the left post

Great drills and practices thank you. Have used to great success for...
Steve, Clayesmore Prep School

DESCRIPTION

Players set up as shown in the diagram. The ball is pushed out to the stopper at the top of the circle, who then proceeds to stop the ball and roll it into the circle. The striker then looks like they are going to shoot before hitting the ball to the left hand post for the injector to score.

COACHING POINTS

  • Ensure that the striker shapes their body like they are shooting at goal.
  • Injector run towards the post and then make a lead back towards the ball.
  • When deflecting the ball ensure that your chest is facing towards the ball.
