Travel Program: Half Ice Ages: 10 to 12... Guide Composition
|
Almost 60% of
ice layouts are
2 or 3 stations
The following is the Percentage focus contained with
in the Half Ice: 10 to 12 year old 'On Ice' and 'Coach
Mini' References...
Percent Distribution of 'Primary' Skills
Over 40% of stations 'Primary' focus is on Passing, XonX
and Scrimmage/ Small Games.
Percent Distribution of 'Secondary' Skills
Approximately 40% of the stations 'Secondary' focus also
involves Skating. And close to 40% of the 'Secondary'
skills are focused on Stickhandling and Shooting.
('Secondary' skills are skills performed along with the execution of
the 'Primary' skill.)
Note: Even though it appears that there is little focus on
FUN... It is critical! There are a few stations aimed at
pure FUN, however the coaches attitude and drill variation
before player boredom sets in is critical to an enjoyable
hockey practice experience.
Target rotating young players between stations every 5-6
minutes and older players up to 12 minutes. You will notice
that at 5-6 minutes there is not a lot of time for verbal
instruction... Don't bother. Line them up- demonstrate and
correct mistakes as the drill is running.
