Hockey Session (Under 16s): Receiving aerials

Screen 1

Essence:

Controling an aerial ball.

Structure:

Player A throws an aerial over the mannequin to player B.

Pointers:

- When receiving an aerial the player should always try to get his eyes behind the line of the ball, allowing for better judgement.

- Players should he relaxed with firm but not hard hands, allowing for a more controlled touch.

Variation:

1) Player B can be on the move either towards or away from the ball.

2) Aerials can be thrown onto Player B's backhand.
