This drill was created using HockeyShare.com's Online Drill Drawing & Practice Planning Platform.
Description
Section 1 - Stop at cones facing the coach, which works on both stopping sides. Add pucks when kids grasp stopping concept.
Section 2 - Backwards skating. Progression is O's, C cuts, and then work on crossovers to gain speed skating backwards.
Section 3 - The Incorporation of 5 vs 5 info has begun. Take your 1st years and show them where and how to line up. 2nd years can have a quick reminder and then you can have a fun game of "Win the Draw" back to a teammate.
Section 4 - always facing coach as they go around the circle. The pivot is almost a tight turn but at the last second swiveling the hips to a backward stride.
Section 5 - Players work on their own skating around, in figure eights, fwd/bkwd, hop over or straight fwd or bkwd around stick. Keep head at one level due to knee bend.
Section 6 - 3 x 1v1 games.
Notes: Skill levels of Groups - Remember to adapt skill based on the level of groups coming to your section. More basic skill development for the beginners and more advanced skill sets for the higher end players.
