Adult Hockey School
The Indiana World Skating Academy (IWSA) is pleased to introduce its Spring / Summer 2010 Adult Hockey School. In response to overwhelming demand from adult recreational hockey players, a custom adult hockey school curriculum has been developed to meet the needs of adult hockey players who wish to advance both their power skating and stick and puck skills for competitive game playing and stick and puck sessions.
Please note: From April 15, 2010 until July 6th, we will be holding semi-private (group) lessons for any player wishing to improve their existing skills and develop a competitive edge for the 2010 fall season. Players will be paired according to ability in groups of 2-4 students. The semi-private lessons will consist of a 30 min. lesson with one of our two hockey pros at the rink. Call Rocky Trottier for more information and scheduling (710-5988). The semi-private lessons will focus heavily on technical excellence and execution of stick and puck, edge and power skills and will also integrate 'real world' hockey drills into the instruction time.
Starting July 9th, 2010, the regular Adult Hockey School will resume on Friday evenings.
Beginner thru intermediate levels of power skating, edge work, and stick and puck skills will be taught on Friday evenings 6:30 PM – 7:30 PM for ages 18 and older. Optional skills tests will be offered during the 5th class of each session for those wishing to have their hockey skills evaluated. The focus of the IWSA Adult Hockey School is to develop skating and stick-and-puck technical excellence in five key areas; velocity, power, quickness, agility and control. The IWSA Adult Hockey School coaches are Gail King and Rocky Trottier who both have extensive experience in the world of skating and ice hockey (see information section ‘about our coaches’).
Each 5 week block of classes is priced at $100.00. Skaters will receive 1 hour of instruction. Additionally, adult hockey players may pay for ‘walk-on’ lesson time by paying for classes individually at a rate of $23.00 per session. No walk-on time will be permitted on week 5 of each block of classes as that will be an optional test day.
Minimum Class Registration Requirements:
Skaters must be able to skate forward across the entire width of the ice without a stick and without falling while demonstrating a basic ability to shift their body weight from the right foot to the left foot. They must be able to stop. If you are an adult who has never skated or who do not possess the above mentioned skills, it is recommended that you first enroll in IWSA’s Learn-to-Skate program. Please call Pam Robinson at 237-5565 to register. Adults are required to wear the following hockey gear at a minimum: helmet, elbow, and shin pads, gloves, and hockey skates. Full hockey gear is preferred. Please bring your hockey stick to class. If you do not own hockey equipment, it may be purchased at the rink pro shop (237-5565 - pro shop option).
