It's the job of the referee or host to make sure the game starts smoothly. Organizing a proper face-off is essential to a well-organized game.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Step 1

Stretch thoroughly before you skate. Seeing you stretch will remind other players to do so as well.
Step 2

Allow all players at least five minutes to warm up on the court.
Step 3

Give a warning five minutes before you intend to start the game, so everyone can get ready in time.
Step 4

Make sure all players and goalies wear the proper safety gear.
Step 5

Review the "house rules." For example, "If the puck goes into those bushes, there will be a face-off."
Step 6

Separate the teams on either side of the center line. No player may be within a ten-foot radius of the two players facing off.
Step 7

Have one player from each team face each other squarely on their respective sides of the center of the court. Both players' sticks must touch the ground.
Step 8

Hold the puck up between the two players. Make sure they are both ready.
Step 9

Drop the puck between the two players, and the game is on.
