Both preseason and in-season clinics are offered for teams of all levels. These clinics are designed to create the most value by training players and coaches together. Players build confidence and identify the skills that they need to work on most. Coaches get the hands-on experience, tools, and know-how to integrate specialized skating into their practices, maximizing speed and overall skating development.

The main purpose of checking is to give your team a tactical advantage. When the principles behind checking are learned and the techniques practiced. Many of the fears, misunderstandings and purposes are revealed. This gives the player confidence to give and receive checks more effectively and safely, keeping their minds on the game.

BUILDING STRONG SKATERS

 
The Karn Skating Dynamics reputation for building strong skaters is centered around our year-round small group training program.

There is no better opportunity to start improving for next season. With team practices mainly focused on team systems and tactics, there is little time for individual skill development throughout the season.

Karn Skating Dynamics is a great supplement to continued skill development and receive pointers to work on practices at every level.
