Become the Barcelona of Hockey. A high possession style of play will bring about creativity in attack whilst being a great technique for tiring out your opposition. Watch them chase around the pitch while your team let's the ball do the hard work!
Keeping the ball is no mean feat though, it requires control, vision and a cool head. This week's passing and receiving session starts by working on the skill in isolation, recapping the push pass and receiving on the forehand, before gradually increasing the intensity as we start to put pressure on the pass.
By beginning to put pressure your players in a structured environment your players will be able to grow in confidence, developing skills which they can bring to their next games, as well progressing the skill by looking at how first touch can be used to help players stay one step ahead of their opponents!
