DRYLAND TRAINING AT THE POND

Off-Ice Dryland Training at The Pond — designed to mirror the fundamental traits & biomechanical movement patterns that your athlete is developing on the ice.

This hockey-specific training for ages 8+  focuses on mobility, balance, body awareness & mechanics, acceleration, first three steps, speed/agility and power —key elements for boosting on-ice performance.

*For our younger athletes, training will be body-weight focused, emphasizing mechanics, movement patterns, and foundational strength to enhance on-ice performance. As athletes reach the appropriate age and stage of development, age-appropriate strength training will be gradually introduced.

Don’t miss out—enhance your athlete’s future now!
