“The Program that builds the Player Foundation”
- This Program is an invite only program for Players who were born in 2007, 2008, 2009 & 2010.
- This 35 hour “Foundational Program of Excellence” will run from mid-October 2015 to late March 2016
- If you want to develop your foundational skills at a rapid pace while enabling you to improve and grow your confidence level as a young player & have fun at the same time; then Foundational Skills is for you!!!!
- A player who is skilled becomes more confident and that confidence translates into an “improved & passionate player”.
- What Separates this Program from Others:
- Players will receive “Best in Class” instruction & guidance & “Train with the Best”.
- Core areas of focus will incorporate Express Hockey’s leading edge skills training that drives player progression and is what separates an “Express Trained Player” from others:
- Skating techniques in terms of basic fundamentals both forward and backward including stride length, the drive and glide foot, basic crossovers to generate speed and power, edge control, turning technique and recovery.
- Puck skills will be another critical area of focus as we work on basic puck control and advance to stickhandling, basic moves that progress to advance moves, player hand speed, puck recovery rates, escape moves using edges, and power drives to the scoring areas.
- We will ensure the program includes small area games, so the players experience situations that emulate and mirror real games, as this will reinforce and drive the requirement for core skill execution.
- The cost for the program is payable in 3 convenient installments:
- #1 - due Oct 4th, #2 - due Nov 8th, #3 - due Dec 13th
- Once the player list is finalized a registration link will be sent to register at www.expresshockey.ca
