XonX and Scrimmage/ Small Games makeup close to 20%.
Percent Distribution of 'Secondary' Skills
Approximately 40% of the stations 'Secondary' focus also
involves Skating. And close to 40% of the 'Secondary'
skills are focused on Shooting and Passing. ('Secondary' skills
are skills performed along with the execution of the 'Primary' skill.)
Note: Even though it appears that there is little focus on
FUN... It is critical! There are a few stations aimed at
pure FUN, however the coaches attitude and drill variation
before player boredom sets in is critical to an enjoyable
Target rotating young players between stations every 5-6
minutes and older players up to 12 minutes. You will notice
that at 5-6 minutes there is not a lot of time for verbal
instruction... Don't bother. Line them up- demonstrate and
correct mistakes as the drill is running.
