Dribble through - Defensive zone game, Defending Skills Hockey

Description

4 players inside the 23 meter area try to pass the ball through the defensive zone (the space between the 23 meter to the half way line) to the players in the other half.

When the ball has successfully been played across to the other side the opposite team must try and play the ball back through the defensive zone.

The 6 defenders inside the middle zone have to try and intercept the ball and break. When they get the ball they must try and score a goal against the players who lost the ball.

Coaching Points

Before allowing players movement across different areas restrict players to their own areas, instead looking to pass the ball straight across to the other side.
