This program is dedicated entirely to all the fundamentalelements of skating and will be progressive and focused as we target areas thatwill drive proper technique that leads into the fall/winter seasons.The camp will include the following but is certainly notinclusive of all the things we will cover off. We will run the camp insmaller groups as well so we can focus on the right things based on the players’capabilities and needs. \
o Stride - KeyComponents of the stride including Stance and Posture, the Push, the Glideand controlled Recovery. The focus is proper knee bend and ankle flex topromote stride length with proper extension, controlled glide so recovery iscentered and with proper knee drive.
o Glide &Turns - These will be stacked so we take the glide and execute into a turnthat has a good radius and recovery and exit out with proper crossovers forspeed and power.
o Transitions -We will work on forward and backward transitions as we build the glide, andminimize resistance so transitions are balanced, and controlled to allow forhigh recovery rates.
o Edge work - Wewill build the balance and proper posture, so players know the flat part of theedge, the outside and inside. We will focus on eliminating Knock Kneed skaterswhere knees are turned inward so we can maximize power, force and recovery.
