Hockey: Defend the circle

I really appreciate the Hockey Coaching on Sportplan. The senior girls...
Petra

DESCRIPTION

  • Defender passes the ball.
  • Attackers go 1 on 1 and try to penetrate the circle.
  • Defenders priority is to stop the player getting through gate 1, then gate 2, then gate 3.
  • The defender engages as far away from the the circle edge as possible.
  • Work the left and right sides.
  • COACHING POINTS

  • Defending player should avoid getting too close to the player attacking the circle. To avoid the player chuck and running the ball in the circle.
  • Defender should sprint as soon as the ball is passed, and slow down when the attacker has the ball under control.
