2 Dribbling Moving with the Ball Grip player should be able to see the back of their hand. Closed dribble ball stays right on the end of the stick for control - this type of dribble is used more on turf - ball in front of right foot - head should be facing forwards - bending from the knees (not the back) Opened dribble ball is knocked forward for speed - this dribble is used more on grass - ball tapped out in front of right foot 2

3 Dribbling Moving with the Ball Indian Dribble ball moves from one side of the players body to the other. - the player moves the stick over the ball to collect it on the left side before bringing it back to their right - grip is key to this dribble. If an athlete is having trouble turning their stick over on the reverse, check their grip. 3

4 Passing the Ball Pushing - hands apart on the grip - wide stance - knees bent - ball away from body but inline with back foot - stick starts on the ball and finishes pointing where the athletes wants the ball to go. - transfer body weight from back foot to front foot. 4

5 Passing the Ball Hitting - hands together - step in and transfer weight - front knee must be bent - make the swing around rather than up and down - keep head still on impact 5

6 Passing the Ball Sweeping/Slapping - used on turf only - hands together at top of stick - step in and transfer weight - head of the stick starts on the ground and sweeps through the ball - hands need to be low to the ground 6

7 Receiving the Ball Fore-stick receiving - hands apart - knees bent - stick on an angle - head over ball Reverse stick receiving - hands apart - right hand over the ball - body weight going forward 7

8 Tackling Jab/Poke Tackle - stick is held in left hand (right hand as a support) - stick is flat pan handle grip - used when attacker has taken their stick off the ball - always jab and retreat as to not be eliminated (you can always go forward easily if you get the ball) Block Tackle - stick stays flat through the tackle and close to the ground - stick must not swing forward in tackle - requires two hands on the stick for strength. 8

9 Structures and Terminology 9

10 Coaching When coaching: Be enthusiastic and show enjoyment of coaching the players feed off this. Be self-confident, consistent, friendly and fair. Have a sense of humour and make things fun! Dress appropriately. Be a good role model for the participants. Maintain discipline throughout the session. Be well organised. Include all participants, regardless of ability, disability, age, gender and ethnic background. Training Ensure that you spend time planning training every week. The drills that you do should reflect things that you would like your team to improve on. Trainings should follow the same general structure: Warm up/warm up game Basic Skill Development Specific Drills for game improvement Fun hockey specific game Cool down 10

11 Games Recommendations for games: Know the structure you want to play. Use words like: Stretch This is to encourage the strikers to get high and pull away from the ball so that they can receive it in the circle to score. Transfer This is to encourage ball movement from one side of the field to the other passing through the defenders and midfield. Width Getting players to hold their positions out wide to receive the ball. Always have a positive spin on things. When giving constructive feedback try and use the kiss, kick, kiss principle. Eg. Fran your leading today is really good. What I would like to see when you get the ball is to look up and give the early pass. Keep that great leading up. Have rotation/subbing set up prior to game to take the pressure off during the game. NSBHA Regional Coaching Coordinator Happy to help any way I can. Please contact me if you need help.
