Out of Possession - Defending
Tactical principles:
Technical:
See the guidance at the top of this page to understand why you are not seeing interactive Hockey images.
Focus on basics along with defensive principles: Delay, Disrupt, Disposes
3v3 with goal scorers for each team in the End Zone
Teams score by passing the ball to either Goal scorer in the End Zone
When a team scores, the End Zone player who receives the pass is released from the goals and the team turns and attacks in the other direction. Before they can score again, they must get a player up into their new End Zone (working on positional awareness, height options, change of pace, moving the ball forward)
Change It: Each player must get a touch on the ball before they can score in the End Zone
Change It: Players may only use push passes and if they sweep/hit then they lose possession
Change It: If a player gets hit on the feet, they have to replace the End Zone player immediately

Passes must travel through the area
Player in the area tries to intercept

1 v 2s (20 mins)
Practice design
Set up 2 * 1 v 2s, playing one at a time
Single player drives at two defenders in the box and attempts to eliminate and score
Two defenders attempt to win the ball back and launch a counter attack and score in the other goal
Progression
Change to 2 v 3
Other option - if this is not working with the younger players, change to the numbers game.
