INTRODUCTION
As part of an ongoing effort to promote enthusiasm and enjoyment in hockey, USA Hockey has prepared
a Practice Plan Manual for 10 & Under (Squirts).
The objective of this manual is to provide coaches with the resources to create a positive and healthy
environment for players to learn. The emphasis is to develop a non-competitive environment for the younger
age levels that stresses the fun of playing and the learning of basic skills.
This manual provides the coach with the knowledge to develop successful practice sessions. The drills
have been developed to stress the youngsters' individual improvement. The fundamental skills of skating,
puck control, passing, shooting and checking are presented in a progressive manner.
It is important that coaches prepare and organize their session prior to going on the ice. The better
thought out a practice, the more successful it will be. Coaches are encouraged to use their own imagination
to create drills.
The overall emphasis at the 10 & Under (Squirt) level is fun, enjoyment, and a maximum amount of
active participation for each player.
OBJECTIVES
❖ Enjoyable introduction and experience in ice hockey.
❖ Provide a healthy atmosphere for fun and learning.
❖ Introduce the concept of games and the fun in playing hockey.
❖ Development of communication at the player’s level of learning.
❖ Encourage the players to enjoy, learn and continue to play hockey.
❖ Develop qualities important to hockey: quickness, agility, coordination, balance, strength
and flexibility.
PHILOSOPHY
Enjoyment and recreational benefits are the major focus of new guidelines for youth hockey issued by
the USA Hockey Board of Directors. More than 80% of registered teams play in the classification of 8 &
Under (Mite), 10 & Under (Squirt), 12 & Under (Pee Wee), 14 & Under (Bantam), 16 & Under (Midget),
18 & Under (Midget), prompting the Youth Council of USA Hockey to emphasize the educational and
recreational values of ice hockey.
The USA Hockey recommended guidelines for youth hockey encourage an environment in which
children and youth can learn the basic skills without the distractions that are often associated with an
overemphasis on winning. Mastery of the fundamental skills and the fun of playing are essential to the
development of a lifelong interest in hockey. Programs must be conducted to accommodate the number of
new players who wish to play hockey and to reduce the number who become disenchanted and drop out.
These voluntary guidelines are directed at youth programs, but they must be implemented by adults if
they are to influence youth hockey programs. Coaches, parents, administrators and rink operators must all
do their part to ensure that the USA Hockey philosophy and the following guidelines are upheld.
THE COACH
Your impression upon these young players is profound. How they relate to the game of hockey
depends upon you. Your role is vital and heavy with responsibility.
The Coach…
• Shapes the player’s views through their actions and attitudes.
• At times, plays a more important role than the child’s parents.
• Is a teacher.
• Is a leader.
Coach’s Code of Conduct:
• Hockey is fun.
• Honest representation; skills should decide the final outcome of games.
• Opponents are to be respected and complimented.
• Rules and regulations are to be viewed as mutual agreement in spirit and trust.
• Officials are to be viewed as honest arbitrators.
• Winning is a consideration, but not the only one, nor the most important one.
• Set a good example of behavior.
Teach Players to:
• Play for the love of the game.
• Respect their opponent.
• Play for the good of the team.
• Accept the official’s decisions and respect their judgment.
• Play within the rules of the game.
• Be generous in victory and gracious in defeat.
• Always conduct yourself with honor and pride.
• To play the game is great, to win the game is greater, to LOVE the game is the greatest.
RECOMMENDED PROGRAMS.
❖ Three practices to every game.
❖ Practice sessions lasting one to one and a half hours.
❖ While emphasis of development of the fundamental skills is still important, it becomes important
that more time is now spent teaching the principles of the game.
25 games maximum = 75 practices
ON-ICE TRAINING
• One hour practice
• Individual instruction
• Fun games
• Scrimmage
• Cross ice and small game activities
• Skating
• Passing and receiving
• Shooting
• Puck handling
Prepare interesting and challenging practice sessions. Utilize all the variables within each time allotment,
i.e., backward skating, turning, etc., within the skating time allotment.
OFF-ICE TRAINING
• Only for those who wish to participate.
• Stress flexibility.
• Encourage players to participate in all sports.
• Develop qualities important to hockey.
