Defenseman Focus

The purpose of the Focus Camps is to create an intimate environment allowing the participants to maximize their time on the ice. Due to the low player to instructor ratio, the instructors will be able to hone in on details that are often overlooked. The instructors can create a dialogue between themselves and the participants stemming from this low volume of skaters. The smaller ice surface will force the skaters to work on their hockey sense, while the goalies will have to react quicker to the puck. We will use video while the players are on the ice to reinforce the lessons being taught. It is vital to use this video while the participants are executing the drills. Utilizing this technique, they can correct their mistakes immediately. In the end, we feel this camp will allow the participants to focus on success.

Defensive Skills and Powerskating

This camp is for D-men only! It is a fact that defensemen take more time to develop than forwards. The reason for this is there are more responsibilities bestowed on them. The goal of this camp is to identify these responsibilities and show the skaters how to efficiently accomplish them. The skaters will work on D specific drills that will help them make decisions quicker, become more aggressive, and develop the defensemen’s mentality. As a fellow D-man, Cliff takes personal pride in making sure that the skaters learn how to play the position properly. Each session will have a half hour of power skating and one hour of skill development.

Goalie Instructional Cross Ice 3v3

This is not your typical 3-on-3 league! Hockey is a game of creating opportunities in small spaces. Big Ice 3-on-3 leagues do not allow players to simulate these situations. This makes it easy for them to develop bad habits. In National Elite's Cross Ice 3-on-3 League, the players will play on a third of the ice. This ensures that the puck will always be around them, while forcing them to make quick decisions. Goalies will get plenty of realistic shots, not just breakaway after breakaway. National Elite's top notch staff will work with both players and goalies on game-like situations. Players will be grouped in terms of skill level and no score will be kept. It is all about the players getting better and having a blast!

Goaltending

The best goalies always make saves look easy, no matter how hard they really are. The reason is they are always in the right position and technically sound. They know more times than not the puck will hit them. The purpose of the Goaltending Camp is to develop this confidence in each goalie. Each goalie will work with a quality instructor who will help elevate their game.

In Season Skill Development

Practice is the time when kids get better. Skill development is often overlooked during most practices. This is due to the fact most teams only get an hour practice slot a week. This is not enough practice time for a player to really advance their skills. The In Season Skill Development program will give your player the extra skill work they need. The players will be work on their stickhandling, shooting, passing and puck control.

Skill and Powerskating

To become an elite player, a skater must have a firm grasp of four elements: skating, shooting, stick handling and passing. Players not only need to master these skills, but they must perform them at top speed, under pressure and in small areas. The focus of the Skills Camp is to create a game like environment for the players to hone these skills. Our staff will push the players to perform the exercises at top speed. We will also force the players to execute the drills in tight spaces. Each session will have a half hour of power skating instruction and an hour of skill development.

Small Area Games

USA Hockey’s ADM Model is big on small area games and so is National Elite. Small area games are an excellent way teaching the game. Having played many types of small area games during his college and professional career, Cliff knows the value of incorporating them in National Elite’s curriculum. The players and goalies will not be just playing 3v3, but they will be exposed to many types of games. Each game will have its own set of rules and will be working on different types of skills and situations. Our great staff will not only explain the games, but help the players see the game at a higher level.

Small Area Games Goalies

USA Hockey’s ADM Model is big on small area games and so is National Elite. Small area games are an excellent way teaching the game. Having played many types of small area games during his college and professional career, Cliff knows the value of incorporating them in National Elite’s curriculum. The players and goalies will not be just playing 3v3, but they will be exposed to many types of games. Each game will have its own set of rules and will be working on different types of skills and situations. Our great staff will not only explain the games, but help the players see the game at a higher level.
