This is a great activity for station based practices. It works on agility, forward skating, backwards skating, forwards to backwards transition, and backwards to forwards transition.
Set Up
Place a border between two players. One player is designated as the "IT" player. Players do not use their sticks.
How the Game is Played
On the whistle the player designated as "IT" will try to tag the other player. They have to stay within a stick length of the border and cannot cross over the border, they have to skate around the border.
Progressions
- Both players have to skate forwards
- Both players have to skate backwards
- Players skate forwards on one side of the border and backwards on the other side
- Players have to skate heel to heel (otherwise known as open hips or mohawks)
