| | a minimum
|
| | Hold only one hourly practice per week

|
| | Set up 3-4 stations throughout the entire rink where all players can |
| | simultaneously be working on different skills
|
| | Scrimmage the width of the rink, not the length, and hold multiple |
| | scrimmages at once so everyone is involved
|
| | Do not give the mites the leftovers when it comes to practice time. |
| | They may not understand why they have to wake up in the middle of
the night to make it to a 5 am practice
