Start of Year 5 & 6 Development Programme

12:00 am - 12:00 am | 26/08/2019 |

Otago Hockey is looking at giving our young hockey players the opportunity to develop their hockey skills and knowledge of the game. This Programme is to help players with their team dynamics, game knowledge, defensive & attacking concepts, PC & long corners, positional understanding & concepts in space.  We will also help introduce players to the Goalie position if they wish.

Coaching Session Summary

There will be four skill-based sessions. Players will be divided into groups. Groups will rotate around stations within the session, each focusing on a different aspect of the key skill focus for that week. This will be followed by an adapted game for the players to implement the skill in a fun game situation.
