Drills for Kids

[CoachingHockey]

I am coaching a little league team and I am looking for suitable beginner in-line hockey drills. Do you know of any free links that publish such drill suggestions?

This might be a bit advanced, but it'll get you started.

You can go to Hockey Canada's website and they have a ton of free information and skill drills. They also have a coaches manual directed towards kids that's about 200 pages thick and filled with nothing but skating, passing, and skill development drills. Almost everthing will be usable considering the age bracket. Manual runs for $34.95. Link provide. Also, they have a "Drill of the Day" you can sign up for and everyday they will e-mail something new. It's pretty cool...you can find a ton of info as well from the links they provide. Fantastic site.

Shoot, score, then celebrate...followed by an appology for the pass you didn't make.

Here are a few resources I have used in the past, some of which have some excellent drills for inline or ice.

and a cool site for goaltenders:

The other two sites listed on this thread by other posters are also very good resources for drills and such.


There are also some excellent books available on drills.
The Huron Hockey School has a nice series of books written by Vern Stenlund that are extremely well done and graphic in detail of 100s of drills.
A book called the incredible hockey drill book by dave chambers,is also chock full of drills. i think the publisher is contemporary books.

Good Luck Coaching!



When you lose say little. When you win say less.
