House Program: Half Ice Ages: 6 to 8... Guide Composition
|
The following is the Percentage focus contained with
in the Half Ice: 6 to 8 year old 'On Ice' and 'Coach
Mini' References...
Percent Distribution of 'Primary' Skills
60% of stations 'Primary' focus is on Skating and
Stickhandling.
Percent Distribution of 'Secondary' Skills
Approximately 55% of the stations 'Secondary' focus also
involves Skating and Stickhandling. ('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
correct mistakes as the drill is running.
