The indoor hockey SC circuit There are 62 comments on this articlex62

An easy way of improving stamina + different skills in the same session is the hockey SC circuit. Instead of having all the kids doing the same drill we can split the court into six sections and have six different types of drills.

 

If you have a session of 18 youngsters divide them into six groups (making 3 youngsters per group) and station the groups in the different drills. In diagram 1 there is just how you have to split and rotate the youngsters but if you message (on the club house steve_c) or e-mail me I can send you diagrams with different drills on the basic skills. Ideally you should have all the drills involving the same skill e.g. all drills involve dribbling or shooting but if you want to mix the both it can also be done. The hockey SC circuit can also be used in performing tests. Instead of having all the youngsters going together, let them go one by one. YOU CAN VARY AS MUCH AS YOU LIKE

Implementations:
Session: 1hr 30min -Warming up
    -Briefing of the six drills
   -Circuit
   -Game
   -Warming down

Briefing: Although you explain the drills before most of the youngsters will forget what drill number 6 is if they started from drill 1 so the best thing to do is to tell them to look at the next drill while they are inactive so they can learn from the others. If you can have six coaches or supervisors is much better so they will be explaining the same drill.

Please forward on the indoor drills that you would recommend for a team with a few 'stars' but mainly good club players with a reluctance to train!

Please send me a few ideas for some circuits, my lot are all at different levels but if there is one thing they lack then it's good basic close control of/confidence on the ball in a confined space! (that's maybe 2 things but you get my drift....)

With thanks,

Indoor drills
I would love some new ideas for skill drills for the circuit. I am a high school indoor coach and would appreciate ANY drills at all to spice up practice, while improving skill. Do you have a 'package' of drills/strategies specific to the indoor game....dribbling, passing, defending, attacking, corners, etc? I would appreciate anything you can pass along.
With thanks, Sue
