Star Wars is a great game to have players work on their stride and balance. Encourage players to skate hard from board to board.

Description

Coach draws a line 10 feet from the boards or end of boundary.

Players line up on the boards.

When the coach says "Go" players try to to get over the opposing line without getting touched by a puck on the skates

If a player is caught they have to stop and join the coach in trying to get other players.

Key Points

Encourage players to stop before the boards (in the 10 foot safe zone allocated by the coach).

Keep head up.

Use edges to move laterally away from pucks and other players.

Story tell to increase interest for younger players. Coach is with the empire, players are rebels and they need to get to the other side of the galaxy.
