Description
Station 1: Puck Handling
Pucks in corner. X puck handles around stick. Be sure Mites are moving the puck side to side as opposed to shoveling the puck ahead of them. Be sure Mites are crossing over while they are stick handling and ensure you switch directions half way through the drill.
Station 2: Passing Station
2-0 Passing. Be sure Mites are passing back n forth as many times as possible.
Station 3: Competitive Play - Race for Puck
4 Mites line up on goal line. Skate backwards to blue line, turn and skate forward to chase puck which Coach passes out in front of them. Note, it's a 1:1 battle on each side, so each coach passes puck out in front, one for each group. The Mite that gets to puck first must stick handle the puck across the goal line.
Station 4: Shooting
Split Mites into 2 groups. First group shoots on goal, per diagram. Players go one at a time. Switch to back hand shots from stationary position.
For Mites on the boards. Good technique here. Be sure Mite is bending his/her knees and shifting hips side to side when releasing the puck. the puck should start on the base of the blade. Once shot is released, be sure their stick is pointing toward the target.
Station 5: Skating
Working forward, backward, pivots and stops per diagram.
Station 6: Competitive Play - 2 vs. 1
Players must stay within borders. They can pass to coach as well as their team mate. Be sure Mites are passing 2 times before shotting on net. X tries to intercept passes between O players. After a few passes, X players can try and score.
