On Ice Training
ON-ICE TRAINING
- 3 HOURS PER DAY, GUARANTEED:
To provide the kind of skill development RMHS is known for over the course of a week, we believe it is imperative that each player in training on-ice for 3 hours each day, in two separate
on-ice sessions. We believe this schedule will provide the necessary rest and recovery
periods all young athletes need to properly recover between
sessions. This ultimately allows for better recuperative power,
increased muscle development, and most importantly better muscle memory.
Additionally, this recovery period allows each player to be refreshed
for the next on-ice session maximizing the amount of pure skill
development over the course of the week.
When it comes to teaching,
RMHS bases its coaching and training on clear , concise communication
based on each individuals capacity for learning. To properly educate
a player on these skills, we strive to understand how that person
learns, whether by hearing, seeing, or feeling (touch). Since all
of our staff are trained educators, we value this principle and
utilize these three basic concepts as the foundation for our teachings.
For example, we first describe and diagram each drill in detail on
a coaching board or on the ice for all players to see and hear.
Next, our staff demonstrates the drill for each player to see,
and finally each player performs the drill multiple times to
correctly feel the response we are trying to elicit. In addition,
each student is positively reinforced to ensure proper
execution and development. Repetition of correctly executed movements
is how one retains the correct muscle memory inherent in any
properly developed athletic move.
Each camp includes 3 hours of on-ice instruction per day in a 5-day camp. Incorporated in each session are many European
influences, small zone games, creativity, technique, skill, and system
development exercises (please see our Camp Focuses for a specific camp
syllabus).
We guarantee each student will come away from an RMHS
camp a better player.
