Stick Jump/Crossover Drill

Players spread out and place their sticks on the ice in front of them. On the coach's command, players two-foot jump over the stick back and forth. After awhile, have players jump forward from the bottom of the stick side to side, to the top and then backward jump side to side down to the bottom of the stick.

Next, line the sticks up around the circle and have the players skate around the circle doing crossovers and jumping over the sticks at the same time. Change direction after 30 seconds.

Skills: Improves crossovers and teaches players to skate with their heads up.
