Defensive transitions – a practice session by Russell Coates

We’re starting a monthly workshop together with Russell Coates to build a practice session together. Our first session goes live on Wednesday March 20 and is focussed on defensive transitions.

Defensive transitions

Maybe not the most spectacular but probably one of the most important things to master if you’re aiming high n hockey are defensive transitions. So you’ve just lost the ball. Now what? That’s a defensive transition. It’s a key game skill to master both as an individual but even more as a team, working together to manage that defensive transition towards the desired result. So how would you train it?

An experienced coach, trainer and technical director in The Netherlands, Russell Coates 🇳🇱 founded hockeyplatform.nl where he shares his drills and practice sessions with clubs and academies. Russell and thehockeysite.com decided to work together and bring a monthly workshop in which he will build and share a full practice session in XPS together with you. Each session will focus on one particular topic.

See it live or on demand

As usual if you join one of our live sessions live it’s free, if you want to watch it afterwards on demand, you need to be a member.
Afterwards the on demand video will be available in our XPS app. In case you don’t want to miss out on future masterclasses, make sure you join us as a free or paid member so we can send you our reminders whenever we go live…

Of course we will also make the practice session available in XPS as a template so you can immediately using it with your own team in XPS.
