Hockey Session (Under 16s): FHBC Technical Development Program Session 4

Shuttles

Set up multiple shuttles. Should have 4-5 players per group but no more. 

Have 2 balls going per group: one player from each side goes at the same time. That means ALL players have to have constant awareness, not just the ones first in line. Timing is important! After each skill, the player should pass to the next player so as to practice passing skills. Player then follows their pass to the back of the other line. Vary the passing choices: push pass, snap pass off right foot, reverse sweep pass etc.

1. attack left cone, pull left to right

2. attack right cone, pull right to left

3. attack left cone, curl strong (wide)

4. attack right cone, curl reverse (wide)

5. attack right cone, left foot pivot (sharp)

6. V-drag from left

7. V-drag from right

--- 

for older groups:

8. lift right

9. bopper left

10. spin right (ball in hook of stick)

11. spin left

Screen 4

Drill 1:

Leading pass receive and continue movement into open space, shielding through or lifting over the box, and taking a forehand shot directed at low backboard.

Drill 2

Drill begins with the ball in the middle and decision is made to pass left or right with a sweep pass, as the pass is made two teammates lead to yellow cone in order to practice position in a press structure, the ball is then shifted back and the rotation begins to the other side. When the ball returns to initial position passing pauses.
