Hockey Session (Under 16s): Finishing and basics

Screen 1 (60 mins)

Station 1 to goal: 3 lines with balls ready. Right side: drive on the inside of the cones, J turn strong around and shoot front stick. Middle-drive inside cones, reverse drag ball into D and shoot on reverse.  If this is too advanced do v-drags and shoot front stick  3. Any 3D skills towards D and shoot front stick. 

Station 2. 3 teams (or more if you need) 1 player at a time must go and get a ball from the end zone and dribble it back to their team. If defending team win ball they send it back to the end zone and the player who lost the ball returns back to their team-next player goes. Progression : 2 attackers go together and can pass or dribble to get ball back. 

Station 3: Rectangle with player on each corner. Player A passes then follows pass to get ball back  from B (short pass) Player B then runs forward at an angle past the last cone to receive a pass back on the diagonal  from player A. This is all done on the move. Go clockwise then anti-clockwise. Add 2 balls to make it harder (have  2 players on at least 2 cones for this to work) This can be set up twice. Please add any other pick up exercises if you want more variation.

Station 4 to goal. 4 v 4 in the D. 1 team attacks for 10 balls then swap. One player or coach feeds balls in (vary feed) Players cannot lead outside the dotted line. Busy D- no big hits (short handle) or 2 touch keep stick on ball and push/flick into corners.
