10U/12U PHASE II - PASSING, RECEIVING & SHOOTING

SET UP• When shooting off of plexiglass use black pucks.• When shooting off of concrete use a hockey ball. • Backhand Wrist Shot 20x.

The Backhand Wrist Shot is a very deceptive shot and hard for goalies to save.

TECHNIQUE• Stand in a hockey ready position: knees and ankles bent with head and chest up.• Body is turned to the side with weight on the back foot.• Lower the bottom hand slightly on the shaft of the stick, grip is firm.• Puck begins on the heel of the blade with the blade cupped.• Stick and puck start behind back foot.• Sweep the puck forward and shift weight to the front leg.• Use a quick push/pull action with the arms and quickly roll wrists over (top palm down bottom palm up).• Rotate upper body toward the net; shoulders finish square to net.• Puck moves from heel to toe of the stick blade as it is released.• Keep the blade cupped over the puck.• Follow through by pointing the toe of the stick toward the target.• Follow through until top hand palm is facing down and bottom hand palm is facing up.

Proper weight transfer gives the shot power. The higher the follow through, the higher the shot.

SHUTTLEPASSINGSETUP• Players are divided into groups of 3.• Player with ball takes 3-4 runnng strides, passes to player in opposite line and joins the back of that line. • Repeat.• Work on forehand and backhand passing, sweep ball.

Players should take pride in making good passes and being a good receiver. Players must receive pass on forehand or backhand.Position feet and hands correctly...put onus on the passer.

ADVANCED/GAMEAfter several reps, have players call out the name of the player to whom they are passing. First team to 10 Shuttle Passes wins.

PASSING TECHNIQUE• Player carries ball on the forehand or backhand side of the body while running forward, keeping ball on heel to middle of blade.• Sweep the ball toward partner, using the push/pull action with the hands and a low follow through, pointing stick at target.• Transfer weight from back leg to front leg as the ball is swept.

RECEIVING TECHNIQUE• Receiver presents a full target with the stick blade. • Reduce grip tension of bottom hand to cushion the ball with a short catch using the hands and wrists.• Cup the ball and pull the ball across the front of the body on the forehand.• Keep arms free and away from the body, rotate upper body.

Backhand-use same technique.

TOUCHPASSINGSETUP• Players partner up.• Stand 8-10 feet apart.• Feet face partner.• Use a hockey ball.

Touch Passing can only be done on the forehand and should be used to receive and pass the ball all in one motion. It can be used most effectively in a “give and go” situation where the passing distance is very short.

TECHNIQUE• Bottom hand should be low on the shaft.• Bear down, putting plenty of weight on bottom hand.• The ball should be Touch Passed on the heel of the stick.• This is the strongest part of the blade and it will eliminate bouncing.• As the ball meets the stick player pushes through with bottom hand while pushing back with top hand quickly (push-pull action).• The ball spins off the stick from heel to toe keeping the ball on the ground.• Touch Pass ball in slow controlled movement.• Players need to move feet and hands to one touch pass back to partner on forehand.

ADVANCEDAs technique is learned players can pass harder and/or shorten distance between partners. Introduce 2 balls, Touch Passing. Player will need to lengthen the distance between partners and Touch Pass softer.
