Hockey Summer School

Description

About

Hockey Summer School is our 4-week short course program designed to maintain your skills through the school holidays. Your 60 minute lesson will be broken down into roughly two 30 minute sections. The first section will focus on skills ‘n’ drills, then skaters will be split into groups and we will finish off with 30 minutes of small area games. This course aims keeps skaters on the ice between Term 4 and 1, to help strengthen what has been taught in Term 4 while playing the small area games. Players will not be evaluated during the summer hockey school. This program also includes unlimited access to general sessions on Rink 1, for the entire January School Holidays.

After a pass of Novice 3 in our Learn to Skate program, the next step in your ice hockey journey is our Ice Hockey Academy. The Cockburn Ice Hockey Academy consists of 3 stages, and will guide you through basic skating skills, through to being ready to ‘Play the Game’. The first unit Skate the Game focuses on developing hockey specific skating skills such as balance, forward/backward skating, starts, stops, and forward/backward turning techniques. The second unit Play the Game 1 focuses on incorporating puck handling into the skills learnt in the previous unit. The final unit, Play the Game 2 is where all the skills learnt are put to use, developing strategy, while learning the rules of ice hockey.

Ice hockey lessons are available for both children and adults. Ice Hockey Academy is suitable for children aged 4+, however there can be exceptions. Things to consider are:

• your child’s attention span (lessons are 60 minutes)
• your child’s balance
• willingness to take instruction from another adult.

As a safety measure, we highly recommend that all skaters obtain a full set of protective hockey equipment as soon as they can. Minimum gear requirements must be met to participate in lessons. No refunds will be issued for Cockburn Ice Hockey Academy if the skater is not wishing to continue with lessons for the duration of the term.

What’s my class time?

All class details including class time, name of your coach, etc will be sent out via provided email 1-2 days before your first lesson. If you pass any levels during the term you will receive a certificate via email at the end of term. However your class time during the term will not change unless you are transferred to another class by your coach.

Please note: there will be no make-up classes if you are unable to attend your regular class.
