This is a simple relay race where players go out to the tire, do a control turn, and then work on forward strides back to the goal line. The players should do a few repetitions working on proper control turn fundamentals first, then do a few rounds of the relay races.
Coaching Points
- encourage players to trust the outside edge of their inside skate when going around the tire.
- the inside foot should be slightly in front of the back foot as they make the turn.
- players should rotate their chest and head so they look to where they want to go.
- give players positivie feedback when they make tight turns.
