Holiday Precision Skating Clinic
Objective: To give skaters a unique presentation of all skating skills using a combination of off-
ice exercises and on ice drills. Skating requires upper-body, lower-body independence. Skating is not a natural movement. It must be learned. Players will get an explanation of techniques while experiencing the feel of motion required to instill the skill. This is not a “sweaty head” power skate. Athletes will develop better skating habits that can be practiced and carried into games.
Curriculum:
- Quick foot movement for explosive starts
- Stride and recovery maximizing the power zone
- Cross-overs and turns for balance and speed
- Transitions for change of direction without loss of momentum
- Rapid deceleration
- Upper-body – lower-body independence
- R.O.Y.S – Run On Your Skates
