U8 - Station-Based Practice

Tuesday, February 15th, 2022

This station-based practice focuses on various skating and includes:

  • 2 Game Stations
    • Tic Tac Toe Relay
    • 1v1v1 with Mini Nets
       
  • 2 Skill Based Stations
    • Push Puck & Shoot
    • Crossover Skating

Alternating the order of stations in the rotation allows for the balance of Skill > Game > Skill > Game. Complete each station for 10-12min.
