Question

i am a trainnee teahcer and i need to teach hockey to years 7, 8, and 9. any suggestions.

Answer 1

If you live in Canada, Hockey Canada offers 1 week programs that teaches people ( usually coaches) on all the aspects of hockey. You learn all the obvious and the not so obvious.Once you are finshed you earn a level 1 Coaching degree.
You can keep going depending on the skill level you want to teach.. But if you dont like in Canada, maybe do alot of research on the internet.. Lots to find.

Answer 2

Hi best thing to do is to go to this website www.hockeyonline.co.uk and book yourself in for a level one course, it takes like 8 hours of the weekend and they will teach you everything from all the skill and drills to how to get everybody enjoying a sport that can be dull at school. Failing that ask a football coach what he does and then transfer those drills into hockey as these can be related.

Answer 3

There are books and videos at the library for coaching. These books teach you how to set up a hockey practice and what your responsibilities as a coach are. Teach these kids to skate properly, that is the first lesson. Overall, you and the kids must have fun by being positive.

Answer 4

show them how to do it, let them line up on the ice and skate to and fro in front of them, handling the puck while doing so, stuff like that. obviously you don't want them to start with puckl handling, you'll want them to start with the basic skating skills, just backward and forward. show them, if necessary find a way to explain how you are doing what you're doing and let them try it for themselves. then after a few minutes move on to the next excersise. get them to learn the basics of hockey in this manner: skating skills, puck handling, shooting, passing.
then, at the end of the each training session, let them play a short game, maybe 10 minutes or so, put them into 2 teams and let them play against each other. this is the best, and the only, way to teach them hockey.
each trainging session you go back to what you tought them the session before,. and you step up a little, make it a little harder. don't go to fast, give them time to learn. just show them everything and be patient, i'm sure they'll master the basics in no time!

Answer 5

First come up w/ a lesson plan in I'd say 8 week sessions. Start out you days by warming up by skating a few laps and stretching. Then wk 1 you focus on 1 lesson. wk 2 you start a new lesson and factor in what you taught in wk 1. by week 7 you have all of you 8 week lessons taught that way in wk 8 you can have a scrimmage game from what youve taught. Good Luck!

Answer 6

There are many books and videos on the subject. First things first though, you have to understand, and teach the fundamentals first. If your teaching kids that haven't played the game before, this is crucial!!!! after that basic skills on skating, passing, agility, etc. are the way to go. Most important. ITS A GAME. having fun is the most important part of this wonderful sport.
