What you say: Amazing stuff. You have made coaching so much easier! I have successfully used the hockey sessions to collect a bronze medal as a coach for the Open Girls' team, in both the Kenyan & East African Secondary School Championships! |

Looking for space and moving for the ball
In this session we focus on running to support the player on the ball, moving into space and timing your runs so that you arrive just as the ball does.
However, we also recognise that sometimes the problem can be players running forwards without looking up and getting themselves into trouble. To put a stop to this foolhardy running we've included some exercises which restrict player's movement when they're on the ball - stopping your players from putting unnecessary pressure on themselves. Working in small groups your players will need to move to create space for their team-mate to pass the ball around the defender. After a simple warm up we start adding new rules into the mix - restricting movement for the player on the ball. Their team-mates will have to work hard if they want to stand any chance of keeping possession when all the ball carrying player is allowed to do is pivot on the spot!

To get your team working as a well oiled machine we've put the emphasis of this session on all the players not in possession of the ball - so everyone can get involved.
