A few years ago I coached a team who had a major problem in this area, when the opposition place on a very aggressive press they were unable to get out of defence and often resorted to the old fashion hit and hope. Now I know this when I am coaching a hockey game and I see the opposition start to look for the long ball, I know I have them.
Anyway therefore we needed a drill that could teach this and at the same time bring in other aspects, so I asked my two full-backs to come up with a design a Game Scenario Drill which we could use at training. If you ever watch one of my training session you will notice I don't what you would call standard flow through drills or hockey drills, because as simple as this they teach nothing to the players. I believe instead in using Game Scenario Drills or (GSD's) as I call them, along with questioning to get the players to self learn.
Anyway my two full-back came up with this little GSD which worked wonders for solving the problem and I have been using ever since (see below)-
