Shuffle Skating and Stick Handling

This video teaches how combining shuffle skating and stick handling helps players make quick, controlled moves during a game.

Coaching Points:

1. Start Simple: Practice basic stick handling and shuffle skating separately before trying to combine them.
2. Use Numbered Positions: Think of stick handling in different positions (1, 2, 3, and 4) to help stay organized while moving the puck.
3. Use Pylons: Add pylons to practice moving around obstacles, combining skating and stick handling.
4. Move Together: Make sure your hands, feet, and body work together when handling the puck.
5. Be Creative: Try different moves, but stick to the numbered system to keep your practice focused.
6. Practice in Motion: Practice moving the puck between positions while skating to improve control during fast plays.
