do you have any advice on correcting kids skating by pushing with one foot only?

I find making them balance on one foot as long as possible helps. You can have them hold on to the nets or hold their stick and try to balance on a single foot. As they get comfortable get them to balance on one foot while you're pulling them so they get used to gliding and balancing on one leg (go very slow at the start). After, let them skate around on their own and reinforce alternating feet to push like they would do when walking (I pretend to walk stepping with one leg only to get a laugh - makes them remember it better). Usually takes 5-10 minutes of 1 on 1 attention in back to back practices and they start using both legs. Not everyone is the same though so don't get discouraged if it takes longer than that.

Holy smokes these kids are good! My son can’t get the return in the bubble drill, he just goes into splits and falls over, how can I help him with this?
@NextLevelHockeyKelowna29 күн бұрын
Hey, thanks for reaching out! What seems to work at the beginning is to have kids shorten the bubble focus on getting feet out with control. Once they go out and their feet get stuck wide they need to recover by taking short steps to bring their feet back together. Eventually they start being able to do it smooth. Stay with it!
