In this section, we will cover the basics of hockey and assign each child to a playing position. Begin by explaining the rules of the game, including the number of players, the positions they can play, and the various fouls and penalties they can incur. Then, assign each child to their playing position, taking into account their individual strengths and weaknesses. You can also provide examples of when each position is used in the game to help the children understand which position they are playing.

Once the positions have been assigned, provide the children with some basic exercises to help them get familiar with their position. For example, have the defenders practice defending against a few attackers, or have the attackers practice shooting and passing. This will help the children understand the basics of their position before they get into the game.

Once the children understand their position and the rules of the game, they are ready to start playing.
