Back for 2006, the Dakota Development Camps will offer an Instructional program for
young players and adult recreational players of all ages designed to improve the technical skills of
skating with and without pucks. Specific skating exercises will be designed to improve the
"ABC's" of skating - agility, balance, coordination and speed. Teaching proper technique, viewing
demonstrations and providing opportunity for repetition will greatly enhance every players ability to skate
faster and reach top speed more efficiently. Players will begin to understand the body and the
bio-mechanical fundamentals required to greatly assist the learning process of becoming a more accomplished
all around skater with and without a puck. Each 1.5 hour session will include 45 minutes
of skating without pucks followed by 45 minutes of skating with pucks including
individual technical skills of puck control, passing/receiving, shooting and checking to provide game-like
situations.
The Dakota Sports Camp component of the program exposes our students to a vast range
of additional activities may include fitness and circuit training, water park activities, track & field,
golf, basketball, volleyball, soccer, archery, team building activities, wrestling,
Frisbee,
low organized games, bandy, broom ball, lacrosse, team handball, lawn bowling and tennis baseball.
This camp is ideal for every young player whose desire is to develop their skating skills with
or without pucks.
