Hockey Session (Under 10s): P7 Session 19 Feb

P7 Warm Up

Goalkeepers can be incorporated in all warm ups

Ball Monsters (8v4 or 7v3) 5 minutes Group 1

Players on 5m line try to get ball into demarcated area

"Ball Monsters" can tackle players and hit balls away and can also hit balls out of the demarcated area as long as none of the players is in the demarcated area

Players need to try and get a many balls as they can into the demarcated area while avoiding ball monsters

After 3 minutes, see how many balls are in the demarcated area

Change the ball monsters to see if they can keep more players out

Be strict with bad tackles - if a ball monster makes a bad tackle, they have to do a penalty (5 burpees behind the goals, jump on one leg 10 times etc)

Pass To Win 5 minutes Group 2

In pairs, move around pitch passing ball to partner through open gates to score points

May not go through the same gate twice in a row

May not go through the same gate as another pair

Change partners every minute to try beat score

How fast can you pass 5 minutes Group 3 (in 5s or 4s)

Player in the middle (P1) must get 60 passes away, may not pass back to same player twice in a row

Once P1 has completed 60 passes, group must move to another set of colour cones and replace P1 with new player in team

Set-up: Must always be one set of cones open

Teams must work through all 5 players in the middle - first to complete, wins
