We want players who are able to perform under pressure, exude confidence and make quality decisions. This session is designed for just that to get your players protecting the ball and moving up the field at ease.
What's in the Session?
We use a series of possession based drills and focus on key aspects to retaining the ball under pressure. Get your players looking for the forehand side of the receiver, scanning for defenders, and adopting a wide base to speed up the next phase of play and progress the ball forward.
Packed with possession based drills, this is sure to get your players confident on the ball in future fixtures.
The first weeks of the season decide whether a junior or new player sticks with adult hockey. Here is how to keep them safe, give them a clear job and build their confidence from the very first bully.
Most tackles are lost before the stick goes down. Teach your defenders to channel, wait and choose the right tackle, and you will win more ball and give away fewer cards.
England Hockey's rule guidance for 2026/27 takes effect from 1 September. Here are the changes that will actually alter how you coach, and how to brief your squad in one pre-season session.
