Players have a ball each and work in two small groups. Each group begins in a crowded areas (30 MPH speed limit) and dribble around slowly.
When the coach raises their hand players move from one crowded area to the other one.
Purpose :
To avoid bumping into other players
When dribbling in the crowded area there's a lot of traffic so players drive slowly and dribble at 30MPH.
When moving between crowded zones the athlete can run at pace - hence the 50mph speed limit.
30 MPH :
Posture
• Knees bent 90 degress
• Ball a stick length in front of the feet
• Arms almost straight
• Back straight “hollow the back”
Scanning
• Tell the players to “see the ball through the bottom of the eyes and the action through the top”
50 MPH:
Posture:
• Ball a stick length in front of the feet
• Hands 15cm apart (higher than when pushing) this allows a full stride
• Carry the ball directly in front using the base of the stick
• Arms almost straight
• Back straight “hollow the back”
Scanning
• Tell the players to "see the ball through the bottom of the eyes and the action through the top"

The first weeks of the season decide whether a junior or new player sticks with adult hockey. Here is how to keep them safe, give them a clear job and build their confidence from the very first bully.
Most tackles are lost before the stick goes down. Teach your defenders to channel, wait and choose the right tackle, and you will win more ball and give away fewer cards.
