Basic Skills

The Basic Skills Program is designed for students 6 to 8 years old. The focus of this program is basic individual skill development within a fun environment. The major skill emphasis is on skating and striding techniques. Backward skating, agility, and turning are other skating techniques taught. Puck control is taught and practiced using balls, light pucks, and regular pucks. Drill progression is slow and specific with continuous instructor feedback.

This program is a half-day from 8:30-11:30 am with each half-day session divided into 4 or 5 skill sets per day with periods of fun in between and at the end of each session. The half-day session has a 20 minute break in the middle.
