Hockey: Opposed Shooting: Clip Hit

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

Shane, Hockey Coach

DESCRIPTION

- Two active players (one forward, one defender) and a feeder
- The feeder passes the ball into the forward, while the defend puts pressure on the forward
- The forward should be using the clip hit to get a quick strike off
- The defender becomes the new forward

COACHING POINTS

- The distance between the forward and the defender should mean a proper challenge is not made
- This to prevent the forward setting the ball perfectly to take a strike
- Soft hands should be used when striking on the right hand side of the D, to allow the ball to come across the body

PROGRESSION

- Decrease the distance between the two active players
- Increase the ball pace to put more pressure on the trap

Pass across the top of circle to score:

Shooting & Goalscoring

Pass and follow exercise:

This exercise is to teach players to run on to a ball passed into space. The ball, when played down the right wing, has to be received by the players with the reverse stick side. Players should follow their own pass each time. Pass and follow sequence 1-2-3-4-5-1.
The exercise would work the same on the left wing, only players would receive the ball on the forehand side.

Shooting & Goalscoring

Attacking the circle:

Player 1 runs down the wing to then pass the ball backwards of square to player . He in turn gives the ball to player 3, who has run into the circle and then come out to receive the ball. Player 3 then plays a 1v1 with the defender.

Rotation 1 to 2, 2-3, 3-1.

Same down the right wing.
