hockey

tactical problem: shooting




Horseshoe

players line up on each corner of the goal line, half and half. the first player skates around the dot just past the blue line, the first player in the opposite line passes him in the puck and skates in and takes a shot. the player who passed then skates around his red dot and the same thing continues.



Weave


have players stand in three different lines at centre, spread all the wya across the line. the line in the middle has the puck. they pass to one of the other lines and then skate around them, the player who recieves the pass then passes it to the player in the other line and skates around him. this continues until one of the players is close enough to shoot at the net.


both these drills are fun and help the players with not only their shooting, but also their passing and communication.

Volleyball

Tactical problem : Serving in Volleyball



Dead Fish
 Divide the group into two teams, and seperate them on each side of the court.
 Each player has a ball and serves it over the net. If he or she fails to complete serve, they must go to the other teams side and sit down.
 As their team continues serving, if they catch one of their teammates serves, they can then proceed back to their own side and continue on with the game.
 The team who runs out of players first, loses.



Helium
 Players divide up equally on each side of the net each with there own ball. Then on the wistle, each player takes turns serving his or her ball over the net to the other side. If this is done right, players will serve and then the moment they are done serving, another ball will be coming over from the other side. The player then uses this ball to serve and the drill is repeated. Players should start with a regular overhand serve, then move into a float serve, then if possible, a jump serve.

soccer shooting drills

if a kid is having problems with shooting in soccer here are two games to help he or she get better.


1. lightning
one person goes in goal and the rest of the kids stand in a line 18 yards away. once they shoot, if they dont score they go in net. if they score they go to the back of the line. then the next person does the same thing. this is suppose to be a fast paced and continuos game. it works on conditiong, focus, and most of all, shooting.

2. world cup
each student finds a partner and stands in the 18 yard box. the coach then throws balls out and each pair has to work together against all the other teams to score on net. if they score they step out and advance on to the next round, which takes place  once there is only one team left, that team is out. continue until there is a winning pair. this game teaches kids to react, work together, communicate, pass, and shoot.
