1v1 Hockey Skills
The 1v1 moment
In a small-sided hockey game, Poppy receives the ball near the right touchline. A defender approaches quickly from the front. There is space to Poppy’s left, and a team-mate is further ahead. Poppy wants to keep possession and create a chance to attack.
- Swing hard at the ball without looking
- Stay balanced, keep the ball close and read the defender
- Stop moving and wait for the defender to tackle
- Turn her back completely and run into the touchline
- Stay low and balanced
- Watch the ball and attacker’s cues
- Rush in with feet together and eyes closed
- Reach wildly from far away
Read the defender
Imagine you are the defender. You need to delay the attack and prevent Poppy from moving into dangerous space.
- Stand between Poppy and the goal, slightly steering her towards the sideline
- Stand behind Poppy and let her run past
- Move directly alongside Poppy, leaving the route to goal open
- Turn away from Poppy and chase the ball
Make a decision
Poppy has drawn the defender towards her. A team-mate is free ahead, while the defender’s stick is close to the ball.
