Field Hockey Unit Plan
3 vs 1 Passing
4 players to a square grid. 3 passers – must stay on the perimeter. 1 defense – must have 2 hands on the stick and cannot crowd the passer. Once the perimeter play has the ball they cannot move, forcing the other 2 to get open.
If 5 successful passes are made, the offenders get a point and the defender switches.
P1-make grid smaller if it is too easy
P2-make the amount of passes needed in order to get a point greater or less depending on difficulty.
P3-can only hold the ball for 2 sec to speed the game up
