HOCKEY CAMP DETAILS

All our sessions/camps are appropriately paced to challenge all skaters with activities/drills that are both innovative and unique. Drill progression and repetition will allow each player to be an active participant in their own skill development. Each athlete's overall development as a complete player is directly related to his or her skating ability.

 

Here at Attack Sports, it is our goal to make each player a stronger competitor with increased confidence in their abilities. 

​

All of our camps are for highly motivated and/or skilled athletes who are eager to learn, work extremely hard, and willing to compete outside of their comfort zone. 

​

All of our Hockey Camps include a low athlete to instructor ratio

  • 8:1 (athletes to instructors) at very most

    • More instructor feedback

    • Station-based practices for maximum skill development​​

      • More puck touches​

      • More shots

      • More engagement 

    • Maximum work to rest ratio
