Coach Boom : Criss-crossing through a loose pack

10
mins

Objective
Skaters will learn to move through a loose pack of blockers by alternating directions.
Activity

Skaters will start skating in a pack. You can give them directions to do certain things, such as:

  • run on toe-stops
  • skate backwards
  • stop
  • go to the inside
  • go to the outside

Once the skaters are skating comfortably, you will pick 1-3 skaters to  skate 2 laps and pass through the pack as fast as possible. This will enhance their ability to move through a bunch of skaters. You can do two variants: either the pack is "opposing skaters" and they cannot touch anyone with their hands, or the pack is "teammates" and they have to use their hands and voice to pass through as supple as possible.

You can continue shouting commands at the pack to make it extra difficult!

Check For Learning

Skaters are able to distuinguish between teammates and opposing skaters in their manner of passing through the pack, and can use their agility to pass through the pack without losing much speed.
