Beschreibung

Hockey practices for the younger players is a book with ready-made hockey practices for players between 7-12 years. All hockey practices and drills have been carried out practically on the ice in the format they are drawn in the book. A total of 63 hockey training sessions, which are ready to be used immediately. This gives you peace of mind as a hockey coach, you know that you always have a ready to use hockey practice, which is tested and well thought, when you need one, e.g. for that early Tuesday training at 4 pm (16:00), you are arriving to straight from work. Towards the end of the book, you will also find a number of theme practices, for skating, passes, shots, stick handling and 1 on 1, which you can insert from time to time or use during a focus period. It is often good to repeat the same practices 2-3 times, before moving on to the next practice. As the players learn the hockey drills, you reduce the time to show the exercise itself and can instead focus on feedback on the performance during the hockey drill, to develop your players even more. If you use the same practice 2-3 times before switching to the next one, you have 63 x 2 = 126 practices covered, or 63 x 3 = 189 practices covered, it gives you peace of mind and reduces "produce new hockey drills / put together hockey practices" stress for a good while!

Hello,

I appreciate that you read here and thank you for buying the book!

Before we go into the hockey training and the hockey drills, which build up the hockey practice itself, you may be wondering who I am who put together the book.

My name is Jukka Aro and I have been a coaching in hockey at various levels for over 25 years from hockey school to men’s teams, coach in the regional team, various Select teams, coach for school hockey in 7th to 9th grade, high school and also as skills coach for different ages.

I am a trained national level hockey coach and have also studied at the Coach Academy. During the days I work with operational development, leadership and team development.

I have a wife and three children, all of whom play hockey and are of the age: Hockey school to Hockey High School.

Multidimensional hockey drills and training

Hockey practices for younger players

Hockey practices for younger players

Hockey training for the younger ones is a book with ready-made hockey training for the younger players up to about 12 years old, but is also suitable as an insert for the older ones or when you want to return to basics for a while. It is difficult to set a more exact age, when the level of competence and development plays such a big role.

All drills and exercises have been carried out practically on the ice in the format they are drawn in the book.

The content of the book can be used in several different ways, you can use hockey practices as it is, jump between practices, combine the first part of one practice with the end of another or pick a hockey drill here and there and put together your own practice.

Towards the end of the book, you will also find some theme practices that can be put in from time to time or used for a period, (skating, passing, 1 on 1, shooting and stick handling theme practices) before jumping back to the other practices again, which is more of a mix of different elements, but with a strong emphasis on skating with and without puck.

It is often good to repeat the same exercise 2-3 times before jumping to the next. Then the players have time to learn the exercises. You reduce the time, to show the exercise and can instead focus on feedback on the execution and action.

This gives you a little peace of mind as a trainer, even if you do not use the training from the book every time.

However, you know that you always have a ready to use hockey training, which is tested and well thought out when you need it, e.g. to that Wednesday training at 16:00 or Monday 17:00, which can be just as difficult to catch up on well prepared, straight from work!

There are descriptions for all drills, but no times for how long you should run an exercise, you can control and decide that as needed.

I have used the following guidelines when I train the younger ones.

Training duration 50-80 minutes.

10-15 minutes skating skills.

20-25 minutes station training.

5-10 minutes skating (relay, games, etc.)

10-15 minutes small area match in three zones.

"Individually skilled skaters and creative players with team spirit"

Use the ice time with quality. Create

opportunities for development and creativity.

Good skaters have time to be creative and find

solutions during the matches. "Creative

mistakes" can be repaired with good skating…

Adapting the hockey drills

Adapting the hockey drills

Within a group, there can often be a big difference in what level the players are at in the development ladder.

How do you do this so that everyone has a good opportunity to develop?

A possible solution is to try to level the groups, colors or “fives”, then you as a leader will also find it easier to meet your players where they are in their development right now.

How can this be linked more practically to the exercises out on the ice?

If you have about the same level of players coming to a station, you can with some of the groups start by running the exercise without a stick (if it is just skating for the youngest ones), bring the stick for a while and test once with the puck before changing stations, because precisely these players need to develop skating and balance.
