Excellent drills, very detailed videos. Useful site for my U15 boys team.
Can any one help me with the new mandantory rule. If a free hit is taken in the 23mts square and is hit back into the centre square am I correct in coaching that it still must be touched by another stick in the 23mts square before entering the circle
Can anyone suggest any drills which would aid juniors with the new aspects of the Self-Pass rule coming into play?
Hello, I search different exercises for hockey self-pass. Have you got a site or a work or documents? Thanks
Just Curious is S.A the only team playing the new rule, where if a player breaks early from a short corner that player is sent to the half way line? so the end result is you got 3 players defending excl the goalkeeper
Can you explain the overhead receive rule to me in detail please?
Please explain the rule about the free hit outside the sirkle.
When teaching the self-pass rule to my team, are there any tips in terms of when to hit and when to carry, depending on the situation?
Now that the ball doesn't have to be stopped outside the D, do you still need a stopper?
Hi everyone, I have been hunting for a more detailed explanation on the self pass rule for hockey. My under standing of it is that a self pass must involve the ball moving five meters before it is hit by the player or it must be hit from a dead positon (not moving) I have umpired many games where the players 'tap and hit' the ball, often with another player rushing in to tackle just as the 'tap' is played. This seems dangerous but im not sure if the tackler is playing dangerously or if the 'tap and hit' player is dangerous? I have read the rule book but this rule is not explicit enough. Any interpretaions welcome. Thanks
What are the best methods to teach Junior 8 aside hockey players their positional roles and responsibilities?
I am looking for 6 a side hockey formations. We have been playing 3-1-1-1. Worked very well, however sweeper was so good, goalie never touched the ball. I want to move sweeper to goalie/ sweeper but our mid field player is too good to just play right. What to do? 2-2-1-1 or 1-3-1-1?
How do you encourage positional play and spreading out on hockey field U9 girls level?
Have a team of older group of ladies who need to learn to pass the ball back, any good drills for this?
I would like some drills for the new long corner rules and the free hits outside the D. Thanks
could someone comment on the 5 yard rule when entering the scoring area? There always seams to be a lot of wrong information regarding this rule.
How long do you play the advantage rule? If the ball hits the defenders feet in the D and then you have a shot at goal playing the advantage, but you miss and the defender clears the ball. Is that the advatage over or would you pull it back for a penalty corner?
What is the rules for a penalty corner pusher or injector? Must have one leg in or u can have both leg out to use a sweep?
Would anyone have a powerpoint suitable for 7-11 year olds to introduce them to the game of hockey, basically explaining the game, rules, equipment, game play and so on?I'd love to inspire the children.Many thanks
G'day guys. I just read the new rules for indoor hockey and I am wondering what peoples thoughts are on the reduction to 5 players. Will the norm become playing with only one forward, or no center, or only one back? It seems this will now make the game more dynamic, teams will have to adapt on the run and change their strategies for pressing and for beating the press. A great center (or three) will become like gold. Cheers
The new rules - what will UK coaches be focussing on most? (Living in NZ, we're playing them now!)
