Hockey Session (Under 14s): Wk6 S1- Right side Baseline Attack

3v1 Rondo (10 mins)

Description: 

• Circle of flat markers. Roughly 10mx10m
• One defender and three attackers in circle. 
• 3v1 possession 
• If a defender wins the ball they swap with player who lost possession 
• Attacker in middle swaps out with another attacker after a period, if they have been in for too long

Coaching points:

• STAY OUTSIDE DEFENDER'S REACH: When offering a pass make sure you stay outside the reach of defender. WHY? So the ball won't be intercepted.
• Move outside reach of stick and create a passing angle. 

What does good look like?

• Players stay outside reach of defender when offering a pass. 
• Pressure on ball at right time.

Basic P Spot (5 mins)

Basic Drill

Driving down Right Hand Side Baseline. 

Pass to Penalty spot for finish.

Coaching Points

- Eyes up from ball carrier

- Slow down on baseline to gain control and give quality

- Connection for pass

- First time finish (Hands apart)

Challenge

- Lead should not be direct to P spot. Try to change direction and speed.

Continuous 2v1 Fast (15 mins)

• 2 attackers (orange) try and score. If defender (blue) touches the ball or the ball goes out the attack is over. If the defender wins the ball cleanly, encourage them to outlet to their team.
• Next attack starts with a feed from the defender (who is a player waiting from the orange team - 1 orange defender now joins) to the blue player who just defended the previous attack. An extra attacker joins from the blue team to make a 2 v1 in the other direction 

Looking for:

• Ability to connect in the circle and avoid contact
• Low body position around the goal and anticipating space to move to to get high quality goal shot opportunity
• Defender - Get body on line to defend both players at once

Progression:

• Remove mini circle - everywhere is the D
• 2v2 - team that scores is out, defending team stays in until they score
