From All Seasons To All Stars
To All Area Hockey Coaches, Parents and Skaters
The Indiana World Skating Academy (IWSA) is pleased to present the Fall/Winter 2010 IWSA All Seasons Youth Hockey School. In response to overwhelming demand from area coaches, skaters and parents, a custom curriculum has been developed to meet the needs of area hockey skaters and coaches who wish to advance their skating knowledge and skills into a competitive advantage year round.
Starting October 1, 2010, the next block of 8 classes will be offered on Friday evenings. Classes can fill up quickly so please register early.
Class dates are: October 1, 8, 15, 22,29, (November 5th No Class), November 12, 19, (November 26 - no class), December 3 (Last class for 2010 and test day)
The winter session for 2011 will begin in January of 2011
Beginner thru advanced hockey skating and edge skills will be taught on Friday evenings for all levels (ages 418). The focus of the 2010 IWSA Hockey School is to develop skating and stick-and-puck technical excellence in five key areas; velocity, power, quickness, agility and control. This year, we are pleased to announce that Rocky Trottier has joined our schools coaching team. Rocky is a former NHL player who possesses strong skating and stick-and-puck skills. He has extensive hockey teaching experience and will be working with our students to assure their stick-and-puck skills evolve and compliment their improvements in skating.
Each 8 week block of classes is priced at $110.00 Class time is from 6:00 PM 7:30 PM Friday evenings. Skaters will receive a minimum of 1 hour of instruction with remaining non-lesson time being for structured hockey game drill practice. Players may join the school anytime during the 8 week session school fee will be pro-rated accordingly. However, we do not offer a "Pay As You Go" option. If a student misses a class, they will be given two complimentary stick and puck passes. At the end of the 8 week session, the students will be formally tested for both their stick and puck skills and skating/power skills. Hockey levels range from level I thru level XII. Once a student masters a particular level, they received a badge and certificate to acknowledge their accomplishment.
