EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, KEN FIELD –
The creative spark behind all Skating Dynamics’ programs is Executive Director Ken Field. Ken realized early in his career that hockey players of all ages and abilities could greatly enhance their ability to play and enjoy the game through the proper understanding and application of individual hockey skills. Ken has developed a comprehensive series of progressive skill building programs for Skating Dynamics that are specifically designed to develop dramatic improvement over a very short period of time. Ken has worked with both professional as well as amateur hockey players and was the initial head skills coach for the IMG Hockey Academy. If you are a player that wants to get better, Skating Dynamics has a program that will help you attain your goals.
TECHNIQUE DRIVEN –
Skating Dynamics focuses on the most effective techniques for skating and stickhandling success. Regardless of an individual’s athleticism, their speed, agility, ability to finish and make the play will improve in tandem with their improved skating and stickhandling technique. Skating Dynamics focuses on technique, as it is the quickest most important method for any player to improve their skating and stickhandling abilities.
PERSONAL ATTENTION –
We know that the learning environment is often the most important factor influencing a student’s ability to understand and incorporate the information being taught. We want each student to understand that his or her success is important. An eight to one or better instructor to student ratio is mandatory for all Skating Dynamics’ summer sessions. This ratio and our teaching style allows for maximum interaction between the students and the instructors. Questions from both students and their relatives are encouraged to ensure total awareness of the skills being taught.
HANDS ON INSTRUCTION –
Skating Dynamics doesn’t just talk about proper technique, we show you and physically adjust each skater to make sure there is complete understanding of each skating and stickhandling skill taught. We are experientially based in our teaching methods. We know that when a student is physically adjusted as necessary, they will be able to replicate the skills being taught.
DIRECT AND IMMEDIATE FEEDBACK –
Skating Dynamics provides direct and immediate positive feedback for all our programming. Our instructors skate with the students as they practice each skill. If the skill is not being practiced correctly, our instructors correct the student during the skill or take the student aside to make sure they understand how the skill is supposed to be completed.
NO FILLERS –
Skating Dynamics does not conduct any team drills, scrimmages or conditioning sessions either on or off ice during our summer sessions. We would rather have each player constantly working on his or her individual skills. We do not scrimmage within our one-week instructional program because the scrimmage format limits the amount of time each player handles the puck. Similarly, we do not conduct on or off ice conditioning sessions or use parachutes, bungee cords or other resistance devices, as they do not have significant impact within the confines of a one-week program.
PROFESSIONAL TRAINING AT AN AFFORDABLE PRICE –
Skating Dynamics provides professional training at extremely competitive rates. You get results at an affordable price. Skating Dynamics is the best investment you can make as a hockey player!
