Reply To: Teaching Methods

Paulie, the whole, part, whole method is very valuable. The hockey world has misunderstood this mehtod and taught the whole Drill, part of the Drill and gone back to the whole Drill instead of placing it in a suitable game situation.

An example of whole part whole for teaching stick handling is something like this.

a. Have a SAG game where they are only allowed one pass and then must try to score. This causes them to have to beat people 1-1, 1-2. This creates a NEED TO KNOW.

B. Have them practice some stickhandling moves with no pressure and then passive 1-1.

C. Play the same game.

D. Progress thru the season with the same method and introduce various moves.

Look at the video of Jursivov teaching moves for ideas on practicing moves. Also the Russian Warm up.
