Page 3 of 19
CUE PHRAZES/INSTRUCTIONS
Jog at a comfortable pace around the basketball
court. Make sure there is good space.
Please stand in front of me in your teams and
make sure you have good space to follow along
to do these exercises.
- Make sure you bend your elbows and keep
your seat level to your back when doing
push-ups.
- As you curl, slide your hands up to your
knees.
- As you are doing the windmills, make sure
you touch your toes to get the full stretch.
- On the side-bends stretch and extend to get
the full benefit of stretching.
1. Grab stick with left hand if right handed or nondominant hand as if you were “shaking hands”.
Right hand or dominant hand is 6-8 inches
below top hand. V grip formed by thumb and
forefinger. Hold stick in front of body. Elbows
and arms should move freely. Hold stick firmly
but comfortably.
2. When dribbling, use small series of taps using
both sides of the blade. Keep arms in front of
body when dribbling straight and keep ball close
to body. When zig-zag dribbling, move blade to
the left or to the right.
3. Students will dribble to line and back keeping
blade low to the ground and using short
controlled taps.
4. Students will zig-zag dribble to line and back.
5. When passing, students will have good space
between classmates and stand opposite their
partner at a close distance. Students will pass
back and forth without making their partner
move.
6. Students will be in two lines (shuttle) and will
pass back and forth to each other to the line in
front of them and back. The pass will need to be
passed a little ahead of the partner.

CUE PHRAZES/INSTRUCTIONS
Intro: Marking
One partner is the chaser and the runs after the other
partner trying not to get tagged. If the partner being
chased is tagged, roles switch and that partner now
becomes the chaser.

position. (How many passes in two minutes?)
2. Students will practice passing with one partner
stationary and one moving.
3. Student will practice receiving passes with both
partners moving.

exercise or task with correct form.
Pick a different exercise when the music stops.
During the coffee grinder, keep your legs straight.
When performing the crab walk, keep your stomach
up towards the air.
1. Watch the ball/puck. Tilt your blade over the
ball/puck to trap it. Cushion the pass by allowing
your stick blade to “give” at the moment of impact.
2. Practice passing the ball/puck quickly back and
forth trapping the ball/puck correctly.
3. One partner will stand still and pass the ball/puck
to your partner who is on the move. Partner on the
move, stop, trap the ball/puck and pass it back to
your standing partner. After five passes, change
roles.
4. Power Passing: One partner hit the ball against
the wall while other partner receives the ball.
Takes turns hitting and receiving passes. Start
close and gradually move back as power
increases.

the opponent. This is a defensive move. It is best
to tackle or block or hit the puck when it is not
near the dribbler’s stick.
8. Students will be in pairs with one hockey puck and
one cone between them. Students will take three
turns practicing dodging stationary partner and
cone. The roles will switch.

maintain control of puck and avoid having puck
taken away. If your puck is knocked away or you
lose control, you practice dribbling in another
specified area.
Closure: Put the hockey sticks, pucks and cones
against the wall.

other two play against each other. Switch roles so
everyone has the opportunity to be the goalie.
When the music stops, students will move to next
station clockwise and resume exercise when music
starts. Students are to have good technique while
performing exercises.
Remind students that you are trusting them to work
independently and safely and to do what is required at
each station.
Remind students to ensure they have a safe distance
between team members when practicing their
particular hockey skills.
On signal, before you rotate to next station, make sure
all the equipment is set up or put away for the next
group to participate.
When swinging at the target station, make sure you
are not “High Sticking” and holding the stick tightly. Do
not retrieve the pucks until everyone is done hitting.
When playing 3 on 3 remember to have good
sportsmanship and work together as a team.
If the students do not make it to all the stations,
remind them to remember which station they finished
last.

13. The hockey stick is held with dominant hand slightly below non-dominant hand on the stick with a “v” grip.

player dribbles the puck while changing directions quickly to avoid the opponent from getting possession of
the puck.

puck is passed, the hockey blade is low to the ground and as the puck is received, “give” pull the arms in as
the puck hits the blade. The stick will provide a cushion.
