Power Skating & Hand Skills for PeeWee, Bantam & Older

Skating Dynamics Summer Power Skating and Hand Skills program is designed for PeeWee, Bantam and Older players interested in improving their skating, stickhandling, passing and shooting skills.  While skating and stickhandling remain the most important skills for hockey success, the ability to pass and shoot become essential to continued growth and development as a hockey player.

Each day is divided into hour and a half segments.  The first segment is dedicated towards proper skating technique while the second segment focuses on stickhandling, passing and shooting techniques.  PeeWee, Bantam and Older players will focus on refining their skating and hand skills in an up tempo, high intensity environment.  Players will increase their speed, efficiency, and skill level allowing them to become a more complete hockey player. 

Every skating skill required for top performance is taught.  Proper skating stance, forward and backward strides, edge control, crossovers front and back, starts, stops, transition movements and the individual components of each skill are taught on a progressive basis.  Students learn the proper position of their skates, legs, torso, shoulders, head, arms, and stick for all skating elements and each stickhandling, passing and shooting skill.  Stickhandling, passing and shooting skills are taught on a progressive basis allowing students to improve their puck control and fakes, enhance their ability to give and receive better passes and to shoot quickly with more power and accuracy.

Our goal is to have players improve their individual skill level and have fun while doing it.  If you want to improve your skating, stickhandling, passing and shooting skills, there is no better program than Skating Dynamics.

*In some locations, our Summer Power Skating and Hand Skills program for PeeWee, Bantam, and Older players will be divided into three day sections focused on skating skills (9 hours) and two day sections focused on hand skills (6 hours).  Participants are welcome to register for one or both programs.  Save money by enrolling in both programs.

Evaluation of Skills

At the conclusion of each summer program, students will receive a written evaluation for each of the skating, stickhandling, passing and shooting skills taught as determined by the completed program.  Skating Dynamics does not promote competitiveness within the teaching sessions.  No student will be compared to any other student.  Our written evaluations are designed to provide each student and his/her parent/guardian with a clear indication as to what skills need improvement.  Remember, even professionals require continued practice and coaching to improve and retain their skills.
