Methot Weekly Skating Program

This weekly program is designed to cover the full skating spectrum.  Coach Methot will focus on technique which includes the proper skating stride, crossovers, tight turns, and backward skating.  In addition to working on the technical aspect, players will perform edge work at various speeds, focusing on agility, balance, and speed. While improving their technique, this program will push and take any skaters outside their comfort zone which is the only way to get better at the only required skill for all players on the ice which is skating. 

Sessions will be broken into two groups:
2007 to 2010 Birth Years
2006 and Older Birth Years

Cost per session is $35/each or $275 for all 9 dates
