Hockey Session (Under 14s): Hawks Spring League 2021 session 5

Shuttles (receiving) (20 mins)

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

Player A leads through the middle cones and receives a pass from player B. Player A practices different types of receptions and then turns and passes to player C who is waiting in the line player A came from. Player B then leads through the cones and Player C passes them a ball and they perform the same skill, then passing back to player D. All players stay on their same side instead of following to the other line.

Types of receptions to practice:
1. moving forwards (no stopping and waiting for the ball)

2. curl right

3. curl left

4. run through cones and receive forehand moving forward (see the second drawing)

5. run through cones and receive forehand moving forward

6. slip trap left (like a left foot pivot - 3rd drawing)

---

older groups only:

7. slip trap right (backhand)

8. ramp over cones forehand

9. ramp over cones backhand

Piggy in the middle 2 (25 mins)

3 teams. the middle team defends the yellow space. The two outside teams are working together to pass through the middle. They can pass amongst their own players too, but need to try to get it across the yellow box to get a point.

If the middle team intercepts the pass, they take the place of the team they intercepted from. 

Make it a competition:
The team that sends a successful pass across gets the point. First team to 5 points wins
