Here are some basic floorball drills that are suitable for kids ages 6-8:
- The Two-Touch Passing Drill: This drill helps kids improve their passing and coordination. Set up a series of cones or small gates in a line, and have the players pass the ball back and forth between the cones, using only two touches (one to control the ball and one to pass it). Encourage the kids to use both their forehand and backhand to pass the ball.
- The Mini-Game Drill: This drill is a fun way to practice game-like situations in a controlled environment. Set up a small-sided game (e.g. 3-on-3 or 4-on-4) and play short shifts (1-2 minutes). Emphasize the importance of communication and teamwork, and encourage the kids to try different positions (e.g. defense, forward, center).
- The Figure-8 Drill: This drill helps kids improve their movement technique and agility. Set up two cones in a “figure-8” pattern, and have the players run around the cones in a figure-8 pattern. Encourage the kids to keep their heads up.
- The Mini-Floorball Game: This drill is a fun, high-energy way to practice game-like situations. Set up a small playing area (e.g. a half-rink or 1/3). Encourage the kids to use their stick-handling and shooting skills, and to play fair and have fun.
Overall, the key to success with these drills is to keep them fun and engaging for the kids. As long as the kids are having fun, they will be more likely to stay focused and engaged, which will help them improve their skills.
