Hockey Session (Senior): RSC NCAA/CIS summer skills 2014 (session2)

Basic recieving and passing (10 mins)

Basic recieving and passing.

Groups: each group 4 players....can work with 3, just make the distance shorter.

Equipment: per group - 2 cones; 1 ball, plus 6 extra

Difficulty Level: Easy

Rotation: A --> B --> A

Coach:

Structure: groups of 4, 2 at each end (about 23mtrs apart). The ball starts at position A. The first player runs with the ball for a few mtrs and then passes to the first player at B. After the pass, player 1 follows the ball and runs to the other side, joining behind the 2nd player on that side. The player recieving the ball does exaclty the same...making it a loop.

Pointers: Consentrating on good basic skills.

- Strong recieve out in front.

- Keeping the ball in front of you when moving off, good vision, and making a good pass to the forehand.

Variations: Push, sweep, hit (short grip and long).
