Hockey Session (Transition Phase): Martin Visit- U13s Wed 11/11

Pitch set up

Kabaddi game (10 mins)

Description: 

• Two boxes side by side. Five players in each box. One team starts with the ball and the other sends one player across to try and win the ball. 
• The five must keep possession off the one. If the one wins it or the five make 10 passes, the ball is passed to the other side and the now out of possession team sends one player across to win it back. 
• The drill repeats. 
• Progression: Defending team can send two players across. Then 3 players.

• What actions can you take on a hockey pitch: pass or dribble

• KNOW YOUR NEXT ACTION: Know what you are going to do before you receive the ball. WHY? Because if you don't know what you are going to do, you will hesitate and defenders will tackle you.

• Players know their next action
• Players make quick decisions
