That back room sounds awesome... please keep in touch and let me know how your team progresses with their foot speed. How old are they by the way? I suspect you'll notice a considerable improvement pretty quickly. Thanks again for sharing this!

We made a cardboard template and spray painted the dots right on the carpet. The room is big enough where we have dot stations for half the team located around the perimeter of the room, so we just split them into pairs and the first group does dot drills while their partner counts, then switch up. It's worked out great. Thanks, Jeremy,

Thanks for doing the research on that! I've never thought of trying the dot drill while stickhandling, that could throw an interesting twist into it. You wouldn't be able to focus as much on quick feet, but it would definitely help to develop stickhandling ability and coordination - plus it would encourage the players' hands to operate independent of their feet, which is another important skill to develop.

Thu, 30 Oct 2008 21:45:46 +0000 http://weisstechhockey.com/blog/?p=21#comment-10 I'm always looking for dryland drills that will improve agility and conditioning and are somewhat competative (always helps to improve the fun factor). This is a great one and I'm definately going to try it. My players love ladder drills and this will add to that. One suggestion is to try it while stickhandling. I do that as a progression with ladder drills and while it slows the drill down a bit it helps with puck control. The mats are a bit pricy online, so I ran down to Lowes to see what I could find. I found a nice rubberized 3'x4' doormat with a good none slip surface - $15. Rubber/plastic based spraypaint - $5. Cardboard to cut a six inch circle template - $0. Homemade dot-drill mat for under $25 and a great way to improve the conditioning and agility of your players while having some fun - priceless!
