Reply To: Favorite Small Area Games

Transition doesn't all change the direction of the play.
I love transition and small area games and often I like to combine them.

with these games I try to teach the prioritys of the game ( these prioritys are common to many "invasion games" e.g. soccer, hockey, basketball etc).

When in offense
1. scoring

if your not in a position to score

2. win space toward the opponents net, playing fast forward by passing or skateing with the puck.

if you can't win space ( why play the puck forward to 2vs4 1vs3 situation?)

3 create space so that you can win space. by pass diagonally or toward your own end.

4. defensive readiness.

when in defense

1. prevent scoring/ take the puck

2. pressure, don't give time and space to win the space

3.steer, deny big ice

4. offensive readiness

here's a good game for creating space ( it can be played with 3fs )
