Great lesson however it's hard to practice using both circles on my ice rink because there will usually be 15+ people on the ice with goalies and players on both sides practicing
Nice demo. Skating is so important obviously but I see in some beginner programs they throw the pucks out right away and these poor guys can hardly stand up. Nice video very well done
Dreaded circles - my son did so many this Sunday during practice he actually wanted to cry ;( But yes, that is how you learn and coaches know what they’re doing.
As a travel coach. "Crossovers" are taught wrong. I have had tremendous success teaching skaters of all ages to have the inside leg push under. Call them "push unders" for new skaters. Lifting a leg while keeping balance and going around a circle is challenging for new skaters, but having them change their train of thought to something tjat sounds easier could aid in learning a pretty integral piece of being a great skater.
Backwards crossovers next, please 🙏
Thanks! I will put that on the list.

You can definitely use one circle or the center circle. 2 is obviously ideal but play around with the ice you have to see what works best for you.

That's true! We should all be learning to skate before we add that extra element of pucks.

Yes! It can be very difficult and a lot of work. It's great to build up to it, but at first it's not that fun.
Thx😅
Before this you should gain stability on one leg.
