Hockey: Pass, Hit, Deflect

The 'My Stuff' feature is amazing! It's a coach's best friend!

DESCRIPTION

Set up with three players in position. One with the ball, two metres from top D. One at top D, five metres to the right. One outside the far left post a couple of metres in from the baseline.
Player 1 passes to player 2, who in one movement takes the ball in front of them before striking the ball on the floor to the far post
Player 3 runs towards goal and deflects the ball with the reverse edge of the stick into the goal
Follow your pass to the next destination.

COACHING POINTS

For game realism, ensure player 3 runs towards goal/the ball before deflecting - and is not simply standing waiting on the far post

Goal Scoring Opportunities - Sweep to back post

Get any shot off towards the back post, whether it?s a sweep or a push to put it on a plate for a deflection into the goal.

OFTEN USED WITH...

Using players in space:

Player 1 passes the ball into the circle to player 2 or 3, avoiding the defending player, on the edge of the circle, who can only try and intercept the pass.

The receiving players in the circle try and score a goal past the keeper.

Shooting & Goalscoring

Dribble pass relay:

Player 1 starts by running with the ball to the right hand cone, keeping the ball in contact with the stick, before passing the ball to the next player (Red Player 1).

When the red number 1 receives the ball they mirror the move coming from either direction.

After the pass the players join the opposite queue.
