Description

The session focuses on the push pass - keeping STICK ON BALL. We want to avoid players taking their stick off the ball when passing on the move in a game.

Try and pass FOREHAND to FOREHAND.

To pass: Knees bent, low body position, flat stick, sideways body position to pass. 

To receive: At least two touches - control and pass. Don't be tempted to bat the ball back, it's not tennis!

Focus on push pass. KEEPING STICK ON BALL TO PASS.

x20 of each pass with a partner.

 

1. 5m apart. Fast push pass. Two touch - receive with control and pass. Knees bent, low body position, flat stick, sideways body position to pass.

2. 10m apart. Push pass, medium pace. First touch to the left, drag to the right, pass back to partner.

3. 20m apart. Player receiving moves behind the cone to start. Push or slap pass, medium pace. As the ball is passed, the receiver sprints forward to receive and carry forward with their first touch. Allow the receiver to reset behind the cone after each turn. Switch places every 5 passes.

Precise passing after dribbling

  • Groups of eight - two players on each corner.
  • Two balls, starting at opposite corners of the square.
  • Players with the ball start to dribble at the same time.
  • When they get to the cone in the centre they must pass the ball to the left with their forehand, through the cone goal.
  • They carry on to run straight to the opposite unoccupied goal in front of them.
  • Once their partner controls the ball behind the cone goal, they perform the next rep.
  • The first pair to score 10 goals, wins.

COACHING POINTS:

  • Practice passing the ball with the left foot forward, and with the right foot forward.
  • Try not to reduce the running speed too much when passing.

Passing - Torpedos

  • 4 players stand in a line, each with a ball.
  • 4 players stand opposite them (8m away).
  • 2 players stand at either end of the 'tunnel' of 8 players.
  • One of the players at one of the ends has a ball which they have to pass to their partner at the other end.
  • The players who form the 'tunnel' try to PUSH the moving ball and try to 'torpedo' it with their own ball by passing it accurately and with the correct speed.
  • If they miss, the player on the other side will receive the pass.
  • The receivers try to 'torpedo' as the ball returns to the original end player.
  • Switch the players at either end of the 'tunnel' every 2 minutes.
