How to Choose the Best Hockey Camp for Your Player
Check out Minnesota Hockey’s article on How to Choose the Best Hockey Camp for Your Player. Timing is perfect because we just booked ice for the HockeyFinder Youth Hockey Program. Our program is based on 15-20 minutes of fundamental training followed by 45 minutes of pick up style scrimmage. Players will be exposed to all player positions, seeing how things come together from every angle.
Focus
Short fundamental drills
Scrimmage
Trying and playing all positions (wing, center, defense)
On ice communication and team building
Consistent weekly ice times during off season (not a concentration with no follow up)
Fun! Light coaching experience. All coaching will be directed towards playing a game, passing, and developing all positions. Players will be able to try new things and see results without getting bombarded with stern coaching. We want kids to walk away knowing what works and what doesnt through their own experiences.
Minnesota Hockeys recommendations for off season hockey is
* Instructors’ qualifications, experience and character as role models
* Instructor-to-player ratio (6 or 7 kids per coach is good; the important thing is that the coaches who are there interact with the kids)
* Availability of off-ice training
* Price (a general guideline is $25-$30 per hour of camp; costs vary by location)
* Schedule: Are there many choices to work around your busy schedule
* Camp choices: General or specific skill development
* Convenience: Can we get there easily, on time?
* Fun: Is it marketed as fun? Will my kid want to come back next summer?
Our program is half the price. Head coach is USA Hockey Coaching Level 3 certified. Regular consistent schedule.
