About Us
Our goal is to offer developmental programs to youth hockey players who want to become better players but do not want to dedicate their lives and off-seasons to hockey.
Our goal is to keep players in the game, teach skills and behaviors that will help all levels of players to develop. We provide a safe and fun environment where all levels of players can learn to support each other and develop without parent, coach, political, association nor peer pressure. We are not concerned about the skill level of your player; we work with ALL levels.
BANDITS is totally about development... we are not about Wins -vs- Loses.
We would love to hear from you! Feel free to contact us with questions or requests:
BANDIT DEVELOPMENT
Our main mission is DEVELOPMENT.
All our programs follow a detailed curriculum, concentrating on development. Our coaches are NOT "winging it" nor putting players through routine drills. Everything we do in our program is thought out and designed for ultimate development! We believe that all players of any level, skill set or age can develop on the same sheet of ice. Each of our programs concentrate on Edge-work and Power Skating. We then combine the two in what we call Power skill skating in the second skate of the week. We also include small area skill development, full ice concept drills and game play.
Goalies:
· We do not to not forget about our goalies.
· We include a mini goalie camp within all of our programs.
· All skill stations, small area games and skill stations will have net tenders so that they are NEVER sitting still nor acting as shooting targets for the skaters.
· Our goal is to have a one goalie coach for every two goalie's ratio.
· The goalies will also participate in the dry-land sessions with the skaters.
BANDIT DRYLAND
Our dry-land sessions are where we introduce skill sets and teach concepts about the game before doing it on the ice.
The goal is to slow things down, teach, demonstrate and explain the details of the skill that will be introduced that week on ice.
Rochester Bandits has partnered with DETOUR Athletics in Rochester. DETOUR is geared for the for the older players focusing on introduction to strength and core strength training.
