Individual Skill Development Drills for Field Hockey Coaching

Tjerk Van Herwaarden diagrams and explains 30 drills for field hockey in the areas of basic skills, defense, team basics and goal scoring. Van Herwaarden discusses a variety of things to emphasize in your training: developmental phases for building skills, how to improve your players' technical skills and how to determine your coaching emphasis. Beginning with the basic skills, Van Herwaarden guides you through drills in the areas of dribbling and passing. Van Herwaarden follows that with defensive drills that work on channeling, jabbing, tackling, double teams and team defense. Building on these elements, Van Herwaarden shares drills for team basics featuring 2 vs. 1 and 3 vs. 2 drills. Van Herwaarden wraps up this instructional field hockey DVD with goal scoring drills that work on the reverse hit, footwork and scoring, endline scoring, bridge scoring, 1 vs. 1 scoring and rebound scoring.
