Hockey drills are available in large quantities, but usually for the slightly older hockey players, but how do the younger players get a good start to their hockey careers? In this category, hockey drills for the younger ones or hockey drills for kids or children, there are not as many suggestions for basic, but developing hockey drills. At the same time, it is also often here that, many hockey coaches start their coaching path and educate themselves during the journey. There it may be good and often necessary with a little help with hockey drills for the early hockey practice, which you will go directly to from work. Putting an exact age on for whom the hockey drills in the book are suitable for, is not possible because it is related to the level of competence. What you can say is that the hockey drills in the book are suitable for the youngest 5-6 years and up and that some 10-13-year old would definitely benefit from doing several of the drills, to develop as hockey players now and later. The emphasis in the hockey drills is on skating, and even though we are talking about the younger hockey players, there are match-like elements built into many of the practices in a basic format. There are also many simpler competition elements in the drills, because that is what it will ultimately be about in the matches, to compete on the ice, first to the puck as a first basic element. Two other important elements covered by the hockey drills are the first steps towards an interaction in the form of movement and passes and of course what we strive for with each attack, to shoot to score a goal!

As it currently stands in the hockey strength and conditioning world today there just isn't near enough quality youth training and nutrition advice on the market as there should be. The information and workouts found online are almost always designed with the pro athlete in mind using extremely advanced techniques, heavy weight loads and gym equipment that the average person doesn't have access to (and the youth athlete shouldn't be doing anyways). Youth athletes can and should be doing additional training if they are serious about their athletic development. On top of this, they should also be eating more like athletes as well. This is where parents or coaches normally start thinking:"Well I don't want my team lifting heavy weights every day after school, or even at all""My son is 11 years old! He is not going to eat perfect, that's impossible!"You know what? You're absolutely right. The keys to youth athletic development are:#1: It has to be fun. #2: It has to be safe.#3: It has to improve performance.The order of importance probably comes in that order as well. Those three have to be in place for it to be effective, fun and good for long-term use. The problem I see is too many coaches offer too much of one category, and not enough of the others. In this Youth Hockey Training guide we will teach you, as a hockey parent, how to help your child train safely and effectively, and how to eat properly as a young hockey player to set him/her up for future success on the ice and in lifeMany hockey parents think that they shouldn't worry about this stuff until their son or daughter is older, but the fact is that you will be doing your child a disservice if you don't help them out with their hockey training at a young age.Get started now by reading our Youth Hockey Training Guide, which also gives you full access to our members area to access bonus information and youth hockey training videos.
