Dribbling Relay
Skill Development – Dribbling Relay:
- The Class should
be divided in pairs with one ball between them.
- Lined up along
one side of the field. To practice there dribbling they should dribble across
the field and back.
- Once this has
been done for a few minutes this can be turned into a competition with the
emphasis on speed, through leader ball or similar drills.
- Once the students
have mastered this the skill can then be used in a game situation.
* Skill development should be done to give the students an opportunity to develop the basic hockey skills in a controlled environment. This is a chance to teach them how it is done before getting into the competitive arena
Through the Wall
Group is divided into 2 equal teams and stand
facing each other 5-10m apart.
The aim is to push the ball through the wall of
opponents. A point is scored for every ball not
received correctly by the opposing team. The ball
is played as soon as the trapper is ready to push
the ball back (players aim to push the ball as
quick as possible after receiving it)
- Try introducing 2 balls into the game
Dribble in the Space:
In the designated area, move around the space getting a feel for the movement.
P1- In pairs, follow your partner around inside the designated areas. The partner who is following has a ball and must control the ball while following their partner. The ball cannot be taken by other teams or by the partner. When the whistle blows, switch the partner in the front.
P2-Follow the Leader-After switching, repeat at faster pace to increase difficulty
Relay Race
Switch up pairs from last activity. In pairs, set up cones in line with demo cones. Running one at a time, in any order you choose, dribble up to cone, around it and back to your partner. Repeat, alternating partners. Each partner will do every cone.
P1-Same as last drill only cones are now worth points. Furthest cone is worth 50, closest is worth 15, second is worth 20 (or whatever numbers you choose). In one minute, try to collect as many points as possible by running 360 degrees around the cone to get the points. Ball must not be further than 2 feet away from the body at one time, otherwise it’s a restart.
P2-pairs weave in and out of the cones and then straight back to start. Count how many times you touch the ball while dribbling through the cones. Most touches in shortest time wins.
Obstacle Course
Switch up pairs again. In pairs, using 5 pieces of equipment set up an obstacle course in 2 minutes for your partner to dribble through
P1- rotate one partner to the right. The partner who remains at their course will explain it to the next student.
P2 – the partner who did not rotate the first time will now rotate, and the remaining partner will explain the new course to a new student.
Circle Game
Within a circle, dribble to maintain possession of the ball while one player tries to take your ball.
Rules
1.Must only move within the circle
2.Attacking player can not invade until whistle blows
3. If your ball is knocked out, you become an attacker.
