Description
In order for each youth to benefit from tailored instruction, for Spring Break 2023, we will group youth across 3 themes.
Here is a brief description of what the practices may contain based on the different themes.
Theme 1: Regular field hockey – End of season preparation: 5 games and 5 practices
Individual Development Program (IDP)
The Individual Development Program (IDP) is a concept that focuses on improving a specific skill that the participant chooses from three options. Rather than providing exercises that include all the techniques, this program allows everyone to work on areas that are recognized as less strong. The ice is therefore separated into three, in order to have three distinct workshops. The skills learned in the multiple workshops can then be practiced in the games.
- Skating Group
- Puck Handling Group
- Throwing and passing group
Specialized program for attack/ defense/ guard
Participants will be able to take advantage of the workshops that will be created in order to put in place all the necessary tools for the development of the players. We offer young people the chance to come and work on the essential aspects of their current position or the opposite, if they wish. The skills learned in the morning can then be practiced in the games. Depending on their choice, players will be able to work on the following skills;
- Attack / Defense
- Skating
- Handling of the washer
- Shots and passes
- Tactics
- Goalkeeper
- Moving
- Net coverage
- Rebound control
- Techniques
Theme 2: Elite – End of season preparation: 5 games and 5 practices
The goal of this program is to provide superior development to elite players in order to reach the desired level. Youth will have access to high quality facilities, equipment and staff that support player progression. Being reserved only for the elite, the player will be confronted with players of his caliber to create a highly competitive environment, with the aim of pushing the player to excel and reach the next level.

The elite players will be able to take advantage of the workshops that will be created in order to put in place all the necessary tools for their development. We offer the chance to the youngsters of the double-letters and more categories to come and work on the essential aspects of their current position.
