I don't have anything, just a bog standard magnetic one. I use ppt to make these

I don't tend to play with a back 3 but I'm sure it can be a great formation

Microsoft PowerPoint

Probably not for the 3 at the back as I tend to not start with this and simply promote either a CB or a WB if we're not under a high press. Other than that I'm not a fan. I do like the 2323 though so I'll do that at some point.

@@hockey4life418 Excellent, I look forward to watching it. While I too am a fan of 4 at the back, my intrigue around 3 at the back systems comes from the fact the majority of international teams seem to set up this way. Would love to know more. Your videos on formations and positioning are the best I've found online (Including some of the subscription based coaching services). Really helping me get back into the sport after almost 15 years away!

Ms PowerPoint. Actually takes a lot of time and animations

Thanks for taking the time to write such a kind message. You made my day. Glad you found them helpful! Check out the three rondo videos if you haven't as they are really great for improving your team quickly

Yeah you could be right. I personally haven't played it with any of my teams but made it for a team that are playing it and seems to be going well

@@hockey4life418 your video on 4231 seems to solve that issue for us!

@@bavobruylandt2378 that's what I use with my teams

Thanks for the video. Really interesting to see how there are different ways to utilise that back four transfer. Senior players might get the idea of the press better also having the mindset of letting opponents play wide and then compress/ collapse the middle.

Take the ball early so the other team can't press. Or chuck an aerial over the press. Or if your CDM are confident players and can move the ball quickly that can also break it.

Is it just you or do you have someone else coaching. I think it's fine to split them up as long as at times you include them all together (in the same session). The rondos will make them progress due to the number of touches on the ball and when they make bad decisions just ask them if they had the same opportunity again,what would they differently and they grow rapidly

Take a look at Etienne over @fieldhockeyeducation. I've found his videos very useful and he has some great shooting exercises. Also I have a subscription to performance hockey coaching (get your club to buy a membership for you...it's super cheap) and there's tons of good stuff to help you

Hi David. Microsoft PowerPoint

@@hockey4life418 Works well. Thanks.

Long corners are an interesting concept. I'll see what I can come up with

I like the “mega” press as the opposition go backwards! Can I ask what software you use for your coaching board

@@grantvonmayer1009 ms PowerPoint

I drew it all in ms PowerPoint

442 for me is more of a football formation but yes the 1333 is a great system which has the sweeper. Pretty much the same as 4333 but you split the CB

@@hockey4life418 Yes, 1-3-3-3 is probably what I meant! The (1+3) is kind of 4 at the back on push back but then on sweeper obviously has more freedom than CB. Maybe you could do something on playing with a sweeper - pros/cons. Thank you.

@@TangibleLife Sorry for taking so long to reply. I would set out offensively the same as I described in the video but for transferring I prefer the 2 centre back options. However, promoting one into the midfield if the opposition are strong there is an option but the mindset of outletting remains the same. For a press though, and the sweeper being a front sweeper check out Field Hockey Education channel and look at latest video on 3/4 press. I really like it and will be moving away from zonal as too easy to go wrong.

Sorry Luka I don't. Only ever played indoor once sadly. Glad you enjoyed the video

I'm a teacher and it's the software we use at school. A basic version is free to use and its called activ inspire

My dad is a coach and he uses Microsoft PowerPoint lol. Many things work

?

Hi Muthu, if they have that in their locker then yes but the idea is only to press half the pitch so would have to be a huge overhead. The press is intense and their player would have very little time to execute. If they have a flicker capable of that they will probably rely on that and I would switch to a 3/4 or half press.

I know but for some stupid reason at school hockey (when playing 7s) they do this but in reality it's a little further than than the 23. I shouldn't have used that pitch layout in the video. Thanks for bringing it to my attention and I'll redo.
