These junior hockey drills and videos are aimed at teaching younger or novice players the basics of the game and get them used to using the stick to control the ball.
Using these practices will ensure your players grow in confidence when dribbling, receiving the ball and passing - all the building blocks required by grassroot players.
We also cover how to hold the stick when running without the ball. Numerous fun drills and games for Under 8s (U8), Under 10s (U10) and Under 12s (U12) Hockey coaching.
Whatever age group you are introducing the basics of hockey to, the drills in this category help players build confidence in core skills.
