Diagrams     

This drill was created using HockeyShare.com's Online Drill Drawing & Practice Planning Platform.

Description

1) Form three equal lines on goal line
2) On whistle first player from each line skates his part of the relay race
3) Once Player 1 returns to goal line, the next team member can start his leg of the relay
4) Continue until all kids have skated
5) Repeat

Notes: - With or without pucks
- Do goalie specific skating warm-ups in designated area
- Change up the skating requirements - e.g. one race can be tight turns to the left, one race can be tight turns to the right, one race can be pivots from frontwards to backwards, etc.
- Make it more fun/challenging by having the losing teams do push-ups or sit-ups.
