Hockey Session (Under 14s): Vale whole pitch

Half pitch counter

Counter attack half pitch.

5V4 or 4v3 -> Progression 3 v 4 or 4 v 5

Defenders are released to step once A has passed (Aerial pass?) to the new 5 attackers. Attack try to score or win corner, defence must win the ball, trying to tget he ball to their corner to start again, Pink line is sideline umpire normal hockey.

Corners counted and will be run at the end.

Off the baseline ball is dead. Looking to keep score for both to improve counter attack and drop ball work, encouraging players to drop the ball back to the player with the best vision.

Can change defending starting point or get the 5 attackers to jump back and defend.

(We are rushing to play the ball ahead when actually backwards is a strong option).
