2 Player Weave

Drill Diagram

Description

Note the 3 lanes on the ice. 2 outside and 1 middle. Busiest lane is always the middle, so if you want to receive a pass, you do it on the outside lane. Its rare that a pass from one outside lane to the far outside lane will be successful, so when you want to make a pass, get to the middle of the ice to have more options.

In the player weave, the ring starts with the skate on the edge of the outside and middle lanes. Two quick strides, and a stick to stick pass to their teammate on the boards, then they cross. Remember to pass over the blue lines. As soon as you get the ring, take two strides to the middle of the ice & get to the edge of the middle lane. To receive the ring, go to the boards.

This continues down the ice, and starts up again from the far corner. Shooter will drive the dot and take a shot on net

This is a very basic and important skill to have. This will become second nature to get off the boards when you get the ring and to drive to the outside to receive a pass. Give and go is a big part of ringette and this is the best way to teach it.
