 Teaching Progression for Passing & Receiving the Hockey Puck

 

Progression 1:

Students should start out facing each other with approximately 10 feet between them. Students will pass back and forth using proper passing and receiving techniques. As the repetitions of the pass increase, students may take a few steps back to increase the distance of the pass and difficulty. If students still feel uncomfortable, they can move slightly forward.

 

 

 

Progression 2:

Now, students will begin passing to a moving target or the receiver. The student passing is trying to complete the pass to the receiver. The receiver’s responsibility is to move quickly and to get into an open space where the pass can be easily completed. Again, as the repetitions are performed the receiver may put more space in between him/her and the passer. This will make the passers accuracy improve.

 

 

 

 Progression 3:

For the final progression students will be passing to the moving receiver but this time someone will be defending the receiver. This progression is very game-like because this is very situational when it comes to invasion games. More thinking will be involved for the passer because they must determine where he/she will place the puck and how hard they will pass the puck so the receiver is able to receive it. The receiver must use the movement that was practiced in progression 2 to get into an open channel or pocket for the passer.

 Teaching Progression for Passing & Receiving & Making Jump Shot

 

Progression 1:

Practice jump shot standing still. For progression 1, start as close to the basket as you need to so you feel comfortable hitting your jump shot. When making your jump shot make sure you base is strong and your eyes are on target. Also, remember to square your body towards the basket. Complete this skill as many times as possible until you are totally comfortable in making the shot. As the student improves at this shot and to make this more difficult, the student can move as far back until he/she feels the difficulty has increased.

 

Progression 2:

Receive a pass from your partner then make our shot. It depends on student’s skill execution on where he/she will receive the pass. If the student has less skill they can be closer to the basket than a student with better skill execution that will be able to shoot the jump shot from farther away. To make this progression more challenging, the passer can alternate between the type of pass he/she throws. They could use a hard and powerful chest pass, or a simple bounce pass. They could also throw the ball overhead forcing the receiver to jump up and get the ball.

 

Progression 3:

The final progression will be receiving the pass from your partner while you are creating space from a defender and setting up your shot. This progression is just like it would be in a real basketball game situation. Once students receive the pass from their partner they will still have to create space and move to stop the defender form blocking/guarding their jump shot. This progression will develop many skills especially your hand and eye coordination for receiving the pass. This drill will also improve your ball handling skills towards making your attempt to shoot the ball in the basket. This progression will also encourage the defender to play man on man, tight marking.
