Tiivistelmä
This project-oriented thesis is based on the fact, that Naerbo Idrettslag has not had any guidelines or a manual on how the club wants to develop the ice hockey players. The basic idea and aim of the manual is to collect all the essential information about ice hockey and coaching in one manual. This manual is targeted for ice hockey coaches and players’ parents working around the Naerbo Idrettslag, Norway.
Since the club is hobby-based, the purpose is to provide an easy to read manual which gives tools for everyday work on the field. The know-how among coaches working in this kind of environment is not even close to what it should be, and that is the reason why they need information and guidelines to improve actions in the future.
The manual is divided into parents’ and coaches’ parts. The first part is directed to the parents and includes following sections: 1.Physical growth of the children. 2. Equipment needed in ice hockey. 3. Nutrition. 4. Parents’ role.
Next part is meant for the coaches and it consists as follows: 1. Ice hockey specific skills. 2. Hints and tips for coaching. 3. Off-ice training 4. Fair Play rules.
The project was started in the summer of 2010 and it was finished in the spring of 2011.
