Coaching Program
Skating First will cover the basics of how to best teach children and adults of all ability levels and how to implement various guidelines that will encourage safety, fun and learning as well as an appreciation for being able to skate great!
Mastering the Basics
Skating First believes that a strong emphasis on the importance of skating skill development as soon as the player becomes interested in the game will result in a stronger, faster and more confident player.
Our Philosophy
Skating First Hockey believes that mastering core hockey skating skills and the continuous improvement of speed, agility and stamina is essential for the long term success of the individual player. Most coaches would probably agree that coaching the game of hockey becomes much easier if the players on the team are well rounded skaters. Focusing "first" on skating builds confidence in a player and provides a solid platform to develop all other aspects of the game.
