Coach Rico will discuss and practice high level

defensive strategies and the art of tackling in

and make the correct decision

in dead ball situations. Self-

Controlling the Circle

This session will be specifically designed

for the goal scorer to know every inch of the

circle. Tom Carter believes the key to goal

scoring is to make the right shot choice

quickly, before a keeper can set. This session

will explore this concept and provide the striker

with the confidence to pull the trigger in

situations without looking up and wasting

valuable time.

At the end of this clinic, strikers will feel at

home in the circle and the confidence that will

be gained is priceless.

The Art of Tipping

Tipping is an art and we will make you a

master of that art. If done correctly, tipping will

score invaluable goals for your team. There are

many factors that go into successful tipping and

Coach Tom will explain all of these as well as

demonstrate the array of tipping options

available to the striker.

Forehand and reverse tipping into the low

corners and upper corners of the net will be

executed along with more advanced side spintipping. After this session you will have

confidence to make the right decision in the

blink of an eye.

Tom Carter developed his expertise as a

tipper and was successful because of his strike

partner, Iain Bennett. In Toms opinion, Iain has

the best pass quality that he has ever played

with, making tipping a great success when

played with him. Join them both in

this high intensity tipping course.

This session is perfect to take with

a club or high school teammate

with whom you want to develop

and perfect a strike

partnership.

The Top D Strike

The daunting issue of so

many field hockey athletes is

how to score from the top of the

circle! This area is prime field hockey

space and often athletes avoid taking this

precious shot and making an extra pass instead.

In this clinic, athletes will learn how to

strike the ball from one of the hardest and

most precise hitters that Coach Tom has ever

worked with, Iain Bennett. Join Iain and learn

to adopt his advanced technique to develop

confidence in your striking ability.

Athletes will learn how to hit the ball both to

bottom corners and upper corners of the net,

all from the top of the circle.

Beating a defender/Goalkeeper

All players need to have the skill and

confidence required to take on a player 1 v 1

and successfully get around them. Join Tom

Carter in a lesson in the skills, psychology, and

confidence that are all required to be successful

in a 1 v 1 battle.

Shooting Options

Join Coach Tom as he provides an

overview of all of the different shootingtechniques of the game. Introduced in this

session is: tipping, sweeping, forehand strike,

reverse stick strike, flicking, drag flicking and

even penalty strokes.

Advanced Dribbling

Dribbling is essential to all field hockey

athletes. Join Coach Tom in a clinic that will

help you develop your ball-handling skills. Lear

how to always have control of the ball and

options for dribbling around defenders.

Pressing StrategiesThe modern-day game of hockey is geared

toward different pressing options. Many teams

in the USA do not have any pressing strategies

or they use a single one during the entire game.

Pressing is so important and there are many

different strategies to a press that can be

used.

Join Coach Quinn in the conference room

where you will have a detailed class in pressing

options. Video analysis will be the core

component, but their will be practical sessions

built into the clinic as well.

Video/Scouting Analysis

Video scouting is a crucial aspect of

preparation for competition. This session will

guide you in your ability to critically analyze

your competition. Learn how to write a

scouting report, look for opponents team

strengths and weaknesses, their key players, set

play strategies, pressing styles, and much more.

Defensive Movement & Positioning

This is a combined classroom theoryand outdoor practical course. Athletes will

learn to take charge of defensive situations and

control forward movement and decision-making.

Athletes will learn the importance of channeling

and how some of the best defenders in the

world do not always need to make that amazing

tackle.

Offensive Movement &Positioning

Offensive movement and

positioning is an area that we see

so often as a source of a teams

weakness. If you are ever

unsure what to do and where

to go when your team has the

ball, then this course is for you.

Learn where to position yourself

based upon your actual playing position.

Athletes will develop an understanding of how

their individual movement away from the ball

can seriously add to their teams success.

theories to scouting reports. Athletes will be

engaged in important tactical approaches to the

game. This course will allow athletes the

opportunity to think like coaches as they

develop an awareness of the tactical decision

making that enters coaches minds. This
