Coaching small-area games is not much different than coaching a traditional game and players will quickly adjust.
Children's Ringette Coaching Resources
Here are some tricks to help you prepare:
- Use small-area games in practice. Don’t wait for a tournament.
- Start with simple rules that reinforce skill development and promote inclusiveness, then build on them. For example, every player must touch the ring, then make three passes before taking a shot.
- Get quickly into action and then provide feedback.
- Keep it fun and be creative.
Practice planning
Divide the ice into two, three, four or more sections. Dedicate some sections to skills and others to small-area game. Choose game rules that reinforce the skills that you are teaching during the practice.
