Hockey: Farmers and Foxes

Space; something we all crave, but it won?t just come to you? unless you?re doing everything right! Find out how to make space find you!

One team runs clockwise round the inside of the circle with the other team running anti-clockwise around the outside of the circle (blue cones).

When the coach shouts 'Jailbreak' the players inside the inner circle try to 'escape' to outside the 10m x 10m square (yellow cones).

The inside team scores a point for each 'jailbreaker' - swap over. If you have an odd number of players give the defenders the extra man.

Every player has a ball.

The designated leader (chosen by the coach) sets off in any direction with the ball. All other players must follow in the same direction.

On the command of STOP by the leader all the players have to stop and stand with the stick head in front of the ball.

Coach should check everyone's position and correct where necessary.

The leader then starts to move again but in a different direction.

The blue team position themselves tactically around the area.

Players with the ball make a pass to one of the static players, looking to then receive the ball back again and then pass to the next static player.

Players are trying to keep possession of the ball for as long as possible. Players inside the area can use the two players on the outside of the grid to help them keep the ball.
