Obstacle Course Grand Prix

Objective: A timed puck-carry obstacle course — slalom, tunnel, loop — that hides five skills inside one race. Setup: Cone slalom, a glove 'tunnel', a lone cone, and a marked circle laid out as a lap. Coach holds the stopwatch. Execution: Carry through the slalom, through the tunnel, around the far cone, then a full loop of the circle and home. Losing the puck costs 2 seconds; skipping an obstacle costs 5. Every kid gets a posted time; round two everyone races their OWN time, not each other. Coaching points: Puck out front where the eyes can see the course past it. Slow down INTO the tricky parts, fast through the easy parts — that's race craft. Celebrate improved times louder than fastest times.
