1 hour & 30 min. of On-Ice Instruction - daily
Our Skills Camp is weighted with about 10% of skating and 90% of shooting, stick handling, deking, and battling instruction. Our Power Skating Camp is about 90% skating and 10% skills. You'll have the option to sign up for both camps or just one for a cost savings. During the on-ice session players improve in skating (edge control, stride, balance, transitions, cross over and under, forwards and backwards techniques), puck handling (control, puck protection, keeping your head up, dekes), and shooting (wrist, snap, and backhanders). Athletes are given one-on-one instruction during key areas to maximize their development. We have found one-on-one training as the quickest way to improvement. It's much easier to advance in hockey if you are a great skater. There is always room for skating improvement for players at all levels. We teach skating and use drills designed to improve athletes form, balance, coordination, power, quickness, and edge control. The puck handling exercises we use are designed to help players keep their head up and feel the puck on their stick. Good on-ice vision begins with keeping your head up with or without the puck. Great vision is essential for great plays. We also teach on effective deking methods, using your body to protect the puck, and battling to create scoring opportunities. The shooting drills we use enhance campers form, balance, how to use your stick, keeping the puck close to your body, using your core, proper leverage, weight transfer, and kick. We focus on shooting in stride, quick releases, and where to shoot. We also show advantages and disadvantages of different curves, flexes, and lies on the market. Which often leave a dramatic impact on shooting speed and puck control. 30 min. of Video Analysis - daily Players are filmed shooting, puck handling, and skating during on-ice sessions. We then review with each player their video off the ice. During video analysis we encourage on what each player is doing right and instruct them on necessary changes. 30 min. of Off-Ice Smart Training (shooting, stick handling, skating exercises) - daily Now it's your chance to apply what you've learned. Off-ice shooting, stick handling, and skating exercises immediately follow video analysis. Concepts are reinforced as athletes shoot a real puck on synthetic ice and stick handle an object that simulates a hockey puck. Each player is separately instructed in methods to maximize their shooting power and puck control. Players are coached in a series of off-ice puck handling drills that stress on control, soft hands, keeping your head up, and listening skills. Skating exercises consist of sprints, plyometrics, high intensity interval training, and other strength and conditioning drills. Our off-ice Smart Training is designed to improve players balance, strength, agility, and form. Drills are not copyrighted so athletes are encouraged to take them home and repeat over and over. Practice makes permanent. 15 min. of Classroom - daily Classroom time is designed to teach players on how to succeed in hockey but more importantly in the game of life through Biblical based principles. Some of the topics we discuss are, "obeying authority (parents, teachers, and coaches), how to keep a winning attitude, treating others how you want to be treated, believing in yourself, fulfilling your purpose and dreams (you were created for a reason), hope beyond what you can see, God is for you and not against you, you were born to succeed, forgiven to forgive, and health and nutrition," to name a few. The Bible is used as the foundation of our entire camp. Which means all players are treated with integrity, kindness, discipline, and respect. 15 min. of Game of Choice (family & friends are welcome to play) - daily This is one of the highlights of the Camp period! Ask anyone who has attended a Victory Hockey Camp and the second word out of their mouth is, ".........!" Actually we can't tell you, but it is nine letters long. You'll have to come to find out for yourself! |
