Spring Development

The spring development session is designed to allow your players to relax and get out of the grind and pressures of the of the regular season.

The season is over and now is this the time let the stress, the expectations of coaches, the puch from parents go and to concentrate on yourself.

There is no-one in the stands, there is no-one to impress... so let yourself try new things, become uncomfortable, work on the skills that you know you struggle with and DEVELOP.

The BANDITS curriculum includes EDGE WORK, POWER SKATING, BODY MECHANICS, STRENGTH TRAINING and POWER SKILL development. There is NO POSSIBLE way that your player will not become a better skater after six weeks of BANDITS!

· The goal is to have 2 goalies to one coach ratio.

· The second on-ice goalie session will be stations and small area games with tenders, so they are NEVER sitting still nor acting as shooting targets for the skaters.
