Parachute Races

Drill Diagram

Description

***Please make sure that players pick up and hold their parachute when they are not skating as part of the drill!!

**Coaches will hold the parachute for the player waiting to start their laps and release the parachute once the previous player touches the back of the awaiting skater.

- Players are split into 2 teams, everyone has a parachute strapped to their waist.
- 1 player from each team starts on the outside while the rest of the team is lined up awaiting their turn to skate, inside the middle circle.
- Player 1 from each team will start on the coaches "Go!" and skate 2 full laps of the neutral zone course.
- After completing 2 laps, player 1 will touch the back of player 2 to notify that player to start their laps and then pick up their parachute and get back into line.
- All players will go through the line up 3 times before the winner is determined.
***Once players have finished their laps they need to pick up and carry their parachutes.
