Sorry for the late post!! Holidays had me travelling all around New England
Clock Drill- Great for all ages and abilities to develop footwork, transitions, and balance.
Use any circle
- Players go twice around the circle, transitioning from Forwards to Backwards (and/or Backwards to Forwards) at each corner positioned like the numbers on a clock- 12, 3, 6, 9.
- After the player in front of them completes the circle once, the second player in line goes. Player 1 once finished going around the circle two times, will go to the end of the line.
- Make sure players do not cheat the drill and perform their transition completely at the designated tire or cone (not before or after). Make sure they hold their edge.
- Also, make sure they do a complete transition- not a mowhawk or just their upper body.
- Coaching Points- upper body control and stick control are key. Perform it with speed to increase intensity.
Its a great drill. Enjoy!
