Hockey Session (Senior): MMUHC #2

Warmup

Essence: 

- To warm up the players, elevate heart rate and train elimination skills.

Structure:

- Both players stand on the 25, they both jump ten times over the line and then sprint to the other white line and back and then play 1v1 in the direction of who wins first.

Attacking channels

Essence: 

- Attacking down the different channels with an emphasis on numerical advantage and disadvantage for both attackers and defenders.

Structure:

- Player A starts with the ball

- Coach shouts 2v1, 3v2 etc and what channel. Ball gets played out wide and they begin the attack.

Technical Pointers:

- Make sure that when the pass is made that the players not directly involved with the pass or the ball, run ahead and get into passing positions. 

- Defensively, the players should recognize where the play is heading and hold it up. Attempt to create 2v1s and don't let clear goal scoring opportunities occur, make it difficult.

Variation:

- Put the attacking players higher up.

Counter attack

Essence:

- To train on creating a 2v1 situation and forcing a turnover into a counter goal scoring opportunity. 

Structure:

- Players in orange pass to blue and then play until either a turnover is created or until the blue reaches the halfway line.

Technical Pointers:

- Work together to create a 2v1 then break hard to create a goal scoring opportunity.
