2016 Summer Skills Primer Clinics

(2016 Clinic information is provided here to give an idea of what the format of our 2017 summer clinics will be.  2017 Summer Clinic information will come out this fall.)

Session 1 (June 13 – June 30) and Session 2 (July 25 – August 18)

Summer is a great time to get back into hockey. At Competitive Edge, we believe that continuous improvement over several weeks is preferred to one-week camps. We’ve designed our summer skills primer clinics to achieve just that.

Our Advanced Mite / Squirt (U8/U10) and Peewee (U12) summer clinics work on all aspects of a player’s game using Competitive Edge’s state-of-the-art training tools. These clinics include:

• Detailed On-Ice Skill and Gameplay Development
• Skating Treadmill Training on the Bullet Skating Treadmill
• Lateral Agility and Crossover Technique Training on the Crossover Flywheel
• Hand Skills Development in our Hand Skills Studio

This is a general hockey camp which means we will be working on all aspects of a player’s game.
