RM (starting with the ball), passes to RW who first time (wall) passes it back. The RM then passes the ball to RW who runs in field with the ball. RM then overlaps and this means that the RW has two options: a) pass the ball to overlapping player or b) straighten up and go for the goal him/her self. RM passes the ball to forehand of RW who then adds to the pass and plays 1 v 1 against the defender.

Hockey: Practice to learn the ...

The defending team forms a line on the half way line of the pitch (in this case the 23m line).<BR>Any player from the opposition that runs beyond the line of defence, should be very tightly marked while inside the 1/2 court. Every time the attacking player runs back out. The defender should stop on the defensive line. Every time the team playing 1/2 court gains possession of the ball they should have a fast break situation. It is important that only 2 out of the 5 players should take the opportunity of this break, and not the whole team, because on losing the ball you still want to be able to continue playing the 1/2 court.

What a fantastic tool. The Chalkboard and session tools make an unbelievable difference in making training plans in both time and organization. I will be instructing all of my assistant coaches that this tool must be used for all sessions during the season, so that we may build a club coaching resource library.
