Variations from One Practice Formation.

Got this question from Kevin Sullivan, a coach who lives near Boston.

I have a question I have been meaning to ask and your are probably the only one who can answer it, it is something Juhani Wahlsten did and Dave King talks about it and did a clinic about it, "Developing drills from one formation in your practices"??
I have seen the Dave King presentation, but have never come across Juhani's version and I am sure it is in your Hockey ABC's book!

Kevin, I give you some examples of using one formation
- to do a sequence of drill.,
- to add passes and tasks
- to move from B - zero.opponents to C - vs opponents..
- to add tasks like a regroup or dump in to a transition game.
- to progress from B to C to DT a transition game..

Variations from One Practice Formation

I will use the B600 basic formation as an example. The players start from the four bluelines on the boards.

Flames do these 4 drills but put them in one sequence.

B600 – Vertical Give and Go

Put the four drills all together one after another from the same B600 Formation.

DT100 - Full Ice Transition Games

Transition Games to practice game situations with no whistles and players rotate in and out. Create any
numerical situation. Add regroups, dump ins. Give either passive, active or a combination of passive and
active support. Have games and keep score. My opinion is this is most effective way to practice team
play in game situations and even smaller situations like a continuous 2-1 to 3-3.
