And youth sports is not about climbing a sports ladder or getting to the highest level.\nIt's about letting the child explore their interest, teaching them to work hard, and learning to be a good teammate.\nThe social interaction that will occur when on a team will be invaluable way for the child to develop their personality and character.</p>"

Otherwise, do 10 more reps with each foot until you have some snow.</p></li>\n<li><dl class=\"simple\">\n<dt>Lastly, push both skates out at the same time.</dt>\n<dd><ul class=\"simple\">\n<li><p>This is snow plow action, which isn't a hockey stop.  But it is a building block to doing a hockey stop.</p></li>\n</ul>\n</dd>\n</dl>\n</li>\n</ol>\n<p><strong>Gliding Before Stopping</strong></p>\n<p>Next, it's important to glide before stopping so that you don't do a turn rather than a stop.\nIt's also a good opportunity to practice skating (i.e. the action of moving your feet to go faster)\nand then gliding. The gliding sets up your balance so that you can be in a strong position to shave ice.</p>\n<p><strong>Push Out to the Side</strong></p>\n<p>Lastly, push out to the side with one foot. This is the most difficult part because beginners are not as familiar with their inside edges.\nWithout the inside edge control and being able to grip the ice with your edges, you will most like turn rather than stop.\nTurning can definition slow you down and it's fine for public ice skating, but in ice hockey, we will need much more control over our skates.</p>\n<p>If you are turning more than stopping but you can shave ice, then try this trick.\nAs you skate forward with your toes pointing forward in a glide, turn your head 90 degrees to one side.\nThen turn only your shoulders.  Your hips and feet should still be pointing and gliding forward.\nWhen you want to initiate the stop, then twist your hips and feet to the side you are looking at, and grab your inside edge.\nThis should lead into the slide and shaving ice.\nThe trick is that your are creating more torque that can help get you on your inside edge easier.</p>\n<p>The final word with anything in skating is to keep trying!  You can do it!\nBut skating on ice is not a natural human skill - so don't be too frustrated but keep with it and making little improvements.\nEvery little improvement will one day lead to more control and good stopping. Good luck!</p>\n</blockquote>\n</section>\n<section id=\"the-drill-stop-on-the-line\">\n<h2>The Drill: Stop on the line</h2>\n<blockquote>\n<ol class=\"arabic simple\">\n<li><p>Start on a blue line in the neutral zone.</p></li>\n<li><p>Skate forward towards the center red line.</p></li>\n<li><p>5 feet before the red line, stop skating and glide.</p></li>\n<li><p>Push out to the side with one foot and shave ice so that you stop moving and end up on the red line.</p></li>\n<li><p>Turn around and repeat going towards the blue line, except this time, push out with the opposite foot.</p></li>\n</ol>\n</blockquote>\n</section>"
