Goalies are strongly encouraged to attend. These sessions help train players through repetition, and develop muscle memory, in order to create good habits. I strongly believe skating is crucial to a goaltender's success.
Skating development is an essential block for a player’s progress. Proper skating technique expands variety and technical level of options that player can perform in certain game situation. Player improvement is achieved by developing next basic components: stance, stride mechanic, edge control, lateral movement, weight transfer & shifting.
Our focus features:
Skating & Stride Mechanics - Single Leg Stride - Pre-Power Skating & Edge Control -Single Leg Edges -Inside & Outside Edge Transition - Forwards & Backwards Crossovers Forwards & Backwards Transition - Single Leg Balance - Agility & Strength - Coordination & Quick Reaction - East — West Movement - Tight Area Movement - Weight Transfer & Shifting - Lateral Movement - Under Pressure
Price will vary based on attendees!
