“CLUB DES DOUZES” (INVITATION ONLY)
This program is very similar to the Early Riser Winter Camp designed to improve the hockey skills and performance of players who desire to play at the AAA elite level in the future or who are currently playing at that level. The “Club des Douzes” camp is an invitation-only camp for players not only with a strong skill level but most importantly an above-average work ethic and a great attitude. Enthusiasm for hockey is crucial because an extra session every two weeks will be added, bringing up the total of monthly sessions to six. This extra bi-weekly session will be dedicated to skating. During this session, we will have four coaches on the ice resulting in a 3:1 player/coach ratio!
Like the Early Riser Camp, we will use the early morning concept to eliminate all scheduling conflicts. We will be stepping on the ice from 6:30 am to 7:30 am leaving plenty of time to get to school on time. Receiving weekly professional instruction on top of their regular ice times will expedite improvement and definitely offer an advantage.
The “Club des Douzes” will be divided into pre-Christmas and post-Christmas portions. This will provide short-term flexibility with finances and long-term flexibility with scheduling.
The on Ice Focus of the Camps Is:
- Skating skills ++
- Stickhandling skills
- Shooting skills
- Passing skills
- Individual tactics
- Small area games (to practice skills in game situations)
