Description

Progress the slap hit from last week to see how it can be used for goal scoring.

Stick & Ball Warm Up - https://www.instagram.com/p/CkBgplJsIK0/

Start with the small sided swapping game to get players warm and moving.

Revisit the skill briefly and move into the goal scoring activities.

Swapping Game

SET UP

  • Two teams. Each team is split across two pitches.
  • Each team has a goal to attack towards and a goal to defend. This must be the same direction for each team on both pitches.
  • When a player scores, that player immediately moves to the other pitch, joining the same coloured team.
  • There should be lots of movement of players from one pitch to the other and this will naturally lead to players having an underload or overload.
  • How do we react in these situations?
  • How can we react in the situations?
If you have a large group, create several pitches for scoring players to keep moving down the pitches.

Skill Focus - Slap Hit

  • Skill focus - slap hit.
  • Start in pairs, static slap hits.
  • COACHING POINTS
  • Hands together, right meets left at the top of the stick.
  • Stick starts on the ground and finishes on the ground.
  • Stand side on to your partner.
  • Ball is a 'stick and a step' away from your right foot.
  • Bend your knees and get low.

Piece of cake!

SET UP

  • Divide D into four cake slices.
  • Pass and shoot in each quarter.
  • Striker should stand just outside the D. Their first touch takes the ball into the D. Two touch only - control and shoot.
  • Feeder follows their pass to become the next striker in that quarter.
  • Striker moves around to the next quarter and joins the line of ball feeders.

Left Hand Side Circle Entry

  • Left hand circle entry to look at how a good slap pass can be used across goal to score.
  • Player on the left carries to the baseline in a banana shape to slap the ball across the D for the player on the right to run onto.
  • The player on the right needs to time their run so that they're meeting the ball and not standing waiting for it.
  • The player scoring needs their stick on the ground to shoot with one touch and use the power of the slap pass to score.

Attacking Overload on Goal

SET UP

  • 5 v 2 / 4 v 2 / 7 v 3, etc - any combination works, just don't crowd the playing space you have. If necessary, have teams of attackers and defenders that rotate into play after each round.
  • Attackers - score in goal.
  • Defenders - score in either side goal.
  • Swap attack / defence so players have a turn in all positions.
IS IT WORKING

 

No
  • Bigger overload of attackers.
  • Give defenders zones to work in - high/low or left/right.
Yes
  • Constraints - time on the ball, limit number of touches.
TO THINK ABOUT
  • Encourage players to think about getting the ball forward as fast as they can.
