The Fundamental Techniques class is the primary class that we’ve been running for over 50 years. Players will focus on proper technique and developing a strong foundation including knee bend, a full-length stride, and a full return. We start with a focus on skating slowly and correctly, then slowly, correctly, and powerfully. This can take many years to learn and master. All hockey players, regardless of skill level, need a solid foundation on skating technique, balance, and explosiveness, all of which are covered in the fundamental class.
Recommended for all ages 7+ who want to improve their fundamental skating skills, those new to Laura Stamm Power Skating, are skaters up to age 13 playing house-level hockey, or are adult novice league skaters.
Prerequisites
- Age 7+
- Players should have one or more years of hockey experience under their belt.
- Be able to skate backward, perform forward crossovers in one direction, and hockey stops on one side.
Goals
- Develop good skating habits such as a deep knee bend, a full-length stride, and powerful pushes.
- Gain a strong foundation to build on and progress into more advanced skills.
This clinic is 6 hours on ice and covers the skills up to the Intermediate AA level skills test.
Note: This is not a learn-to-skate program and is not a conditioning camp, however, the techniques and drills can be demanding.
