House Program: Half Ice Ages: 4 to 6... Guide Composition
|
The following is the Percentage focus contained with
in the Half Ice: 4 to 6 year old 'On Ice' and 'Coach
Mini' References...
Percent Distribution of 'Primary' Skills
Over 60% of stations 'Primary' focus is on Skating and
Stickhandling.
Percent Distribution of 'Secondary' Skills
Over 65% 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
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.
