Hockey Session (Under 18s): Game Play

Quatro Game (15 mins)

4v4 Squares Games (picture shows 2x games set up)

Rules:  

Players score a point by getting the balls into either of their squares either by dribbling in or passing to their teammate, at any angle. Blue score in Red square, Yellows into Yellow

Players cannot be tackled in the squares but can only spend 5 seconds in a square. Encourage self-pass

If they score, they leave the ball for the other team and drop into defensive play

Change it:

Teams must get the ball into each square either by carrying or passing to team mate. 

If they get a point in all 4 squares, they score a GOAL

3v3 3 goal game (15 mins)

Concept: How can we find space and use our first touch to help us score in a small area?

Set Up: In the attacking 25 with three hockey goals - one on the baseline, two diagonally facing the one on the baseline outside the D and in line with the end of the dash line. 5 x teams of 3 if possible

• All teams in different coloured bibs (only have option of yellow blue and black on here!)
• Score into any goal
• No hitti
• If keeper makes a save and ball rebounds to  the team who were defending- they must make  one pass before scoring at that goal. (otherwise it gets confusing for the keepers)
• As soon as a goal is scored losing team off and coach calls new team on- give them ball
• If the ball goes out or there is a foul, a new ball from the 25 is distributed. Max of five balls per group then switch if no goal is scored.
