Hockey Session (Under 14s): EHF Passing Clinic

Passing accuracy (15 mins)

Essence:

Passing technique and accuracy.

Structure:

Players stand in front of each other at about 20m distance. In between them there is a red goal made from cones. Initialy the goal should be about 2 m wide. Every time the pass has to go through the goal.

If the pass goes outside the goal, players need to swap places, by running across the goal.

After every 5 correct passes the goal gets smaller by one feet.

If a pass hits the cone, but the ball still goes through the goal each player needs to do 3 squats. If it hits the cone and goes outside players still need to swap.

Pointers:

1. Before every pass keep your right foot in front.

2. Keep your left shoulder in direction of the player you passing the ball to.

3. After every pass make a folowup with the stick.

Variations:

+/- Make the distance between players shorter, as well as distance between the cones bigger.

+ Put yellow cones 5m, green 7,5 m, and blue cones 10m, from the goal, a bit outside the the passing zone. If player without the ball moves to yellow cone then the pass is a push, if he moves to green cone pass is a slap,but if he moves to the blue cone it is a sweep. Player without the ball forces player with the ball to adjust his passing technique.

Can be also done on the reverse side, or both at the same time.
