Social distancing in drills?

With the 2 meter or 6 feet distance rule due to COVID-19, I was looking for FUN and HIGH INTENSITY warm-up games/drills for beginner players. I would love to hear the ideas of others. *Please include a small description and/or drawing of the drill, as well as what aspects of the game the drill focuses on.

Hi Emily,

There is a great back to hockey session focused on pass and follow which includes drills that can be used whilst maintaining social distancing. You can see the session here: https://www.sportplan.net/drills/Hockey/sessionPlans/Back-To-Hockey-Pass-Follow-16644878.jsp
