Location: Parksville, B.C Oceanside Place
In this 5 day camp the player will get 18.75 hrs. of ON ICE training and 13.75 hrs. of OFF ice training.
In the morning ice session we will cover all the fundamental skating techniques to be able to move forwards or backwards comfortably.
In the afternoon ice session we add the pucks and teach the players how to stickhandle, shoot, pass and finish off with a small area 30 Minute SCRIMMAGE.
For the off ice activities the players are split into two groups. One group will play road hockey and the other group will learn how to move their body correctly in an athletic stance from jumping to Yoga poses. Then they switch stations.
On the ice we always start together as one main group working on inside, outside edges and moving upper body hockey stick included. Then I split the main group into three smaller ones based on the players current skill level. Your child will work with their peers as an opportunity to build confidence in learning a new skill. This confidence creates good skating habits that lead to overall player development.
