Hockey: Sweep far post

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

Laura, Hockey Coach

DESCRIPTION

Player 2 passes the ball to player 1. Player 1 then passes the ball into the goal with a slap hit. Player 2 follows his/her pass and takes the position of player 1.

COACHING POINTS

It is important that the player slap hitting the the ball is wide and not to close to the goal.

It is important that the keeper plays realistically. In the sense that he/she after each shot, goes back to a position were they would be if the shot came from were the ball started.

Player should not try to play the ball with a hit. To score use a stroke that keeps the stick on the ground at all times.

Players passing should aim at the back foot of the scorer.

Player scoring should stand side ways on to the goal, left shoulder aiming at the target.

Shooting Warm-Up:

Pass the ball into the path of the player running towards the circle. Player receiving the ball, should keep the stick on the ball when entering the circle and try and shoot as close to the top of the circle, as possible.

Shooting & Goalscoring

Three pass and shoot pattern:

Players start on the 23 metre line, in 3 groups, each group with some hockey balls.
2 passes to 1.
3 passes to 2.
1 passes to 3.
On receiving the ball, have a shot at goal.

Shooting & Goalscoring

Using player ahead of the ball:

Player 1 passes the ball into the circle to player 2 or 3, avoiding the defending player, on the edge of the circle, who can only try and intercept the pass. The receiving players in the circle try and score a goal past the keeper. once the ball has gone in the circle the defender is allowed to try to stop the players from scoring.

Shooting & Goalscoring

Using players in space:

Player 1 passes the ball into the circle to player 2 or 3, avoiding the defending player, on the edge of the circle, who can only try and intercept the pass.

The receiving players in the circle try and score a goal past the keeper.
