Summer Camp - Session 4

Summer Camp

July 25-29, 9am-4pm

Suitable for all ages/skill levels. NOT a learn-to-skate program and some basic hockey experience is helpful.

Kids are split up on the ice into smaller working groups by age/skill to ensure everyone is coached appropriately.

Includes daily off-ice sports & games (basketball, soccer, baseball and more!), a weekly bike rodeo, and lots of outdoor time.

Overview:

As things have changed over the past two years, there has been a huge drop in the number of games played in both rep and recreational hockey leagues. We have reformatted our camps to close the gap on game play with coaching and positional instruction.

Program Goals:

• 1.5 hrs daily skills training in the morning with focus on skating, individual skills, and passing.

• 1.5hrs daily afternoon game play with a focus on teaching good in-game habits with the skill necessary to execute those habits.

• Daily game opportunities with focus on 5 v 5, 4 v 4, 3 v 3 hockey with real goalies (when available). Power play tactics, penalty kill tactics, face off alignments, forecheck systems, neutral zone regrouped and plays, defensive zone systems and positioning.

• Help players identify both skill gaps and game challenges and overcome them in an intensive week designed to help both rep and recreational players.

• Appropriate skill grouping to make game play meaningful and skill development a challenge at the appropriate level. 

• Player testing for individual skills with full report and comparative data to their age group (average and highest scores).
