The program focus is on skating technique and skating mechanics including, edge work, transition skating, lateral movement/pivoting, stride, various starts and first step quickness, speed and power development. There will also be a skills component which will include agility drills that will combine stick handling and skating skills with a focus on agility, quick feet, pivoting, lateral movement, acceleration, movement in tight spaces, and various skating/puck control postures and techniques. There is video analysis and feedback to assist the players in identifying areas of improvement and strengths.
The spring program is designed for players that are looking to improve their technique and fundamental skills in the off-season. All Sessions INSTRUCTED BY TARA. In addition, there will be other highly skilled and qualified instructors including Jeff Corbett and Todd Winder. All instructors have Pro/OHL/USport experience and extensive experience working with Tara in her Elite programs.
There is an ELITE INVITE ONLY program for AAA players U16, U15 and U14 and a program for players in OHL, NCAA/USport, Major Junior and Elite Women’s. Priority is given to players that have been previously in our program, but new players are always welcome based on availability. Interested players should send Tara a direct email at taramckay71@gmail.com for inquires and for acceptance.
These programs are for a wider variety of REP skill levels from A/AA/AAA. The spring program is geared toward players who have worked with us before or are aiming to improve their skating in the off-season with aspirations of playing at a higher level.
