 YERXA FALL POWER-SKATING CLINICS  2008 AT STEWART HURLEY ARENA

Click here for printable registration form

 

2008 FALL POWER SKATING CLINIC CLINICS SEPT 26,27,28

STEWART HURLEY ARENA

 

The purpose of the fall power-skating clinics is to allow students to familiarize themselves with the proper skills of skating prior to team tryouts. The Fall clinics use the best and most appropriate drills from our summer clinics. The clinic will provide a review of the fundamentals of efficient skating. Children must wear full hockey equipment and bring their hockey stick. Because this is a power skating clinic, we will not be using pucks. The hockey stick will be used as a prop for many of our skating exercises. The sessions will be fast paced with short efficient verbal explanations. Because most young children learn best visually all skills will be repeatedly demonstrated. Students will spend most of their clinic time skating and practicing the techniques being taught. Each of the three daily sessions will have a different theme.
