U10 - Passing, Puck & Player Movement

U10 - Passing, Puck & Player Movement

Thursday, December 30th, 2021

This practice develops passing skills, including the ability to make and receive a variety of passes, reading open spacing, and how to get open to be a passing option when players don't have the puck.

Encourage players to think about where they are passing to, the weight of their passes, and how they can utilize the boards and/or open space to make indirect or area passes. For players off the puck, encourage them to think about how they can be a better passing option or how their movements could open up space for the puck carrier.
