The UBC Varsity elite prep camp is designed for players that are committed to improving all components of their game and are looking for a final tune-up before the fall season. On-ice and off-ice sessions are designed to help give players the tools to successfully compete at a higher level. All players must be playing rep hockey or looking to make a rep team at their respective association. All recreational players should register in our regular skill development classes. All participants are expected to bring full hockey gear, a change of clothes, water bottle, snacks, lunch and running shoes.  A daily session is comprised of the following:         

1.  75 mins on-ice individual and team skill/technical development     

2.  60 mins off-ice at the SHOT - Synthetic Hockey Off-Ice-Training (focuses on shooting and quickness) 

3.  60 mins of DRYLAND STRENGH AND CONDITIONING (and games) appropriate for specific age group

On-ice sessions will begin with individual skill development, improving overall speed and conditioning, detailed shooting and scoring tactics and, most important , working on Team Development - offensive, defensive strategies (which many other hockey schools do not teach) which enhances your overall hockey sense! You will practice and play as a team all week and conclude with an intersquad game! On-ice instruction is run by one of our Varsity coaches.

Off-ice sessions include working out at our new facility called the SHOT (Synthetic Hockey Off-ice Training).  Shooting and quickness is the main focus here (see the SHOT advantage below). Your group will be split in two groups with half using the SHOT and the other half using our new Varsity weight room.  We will introduce hockey specific training mechanisms to help build your balance, speed, agility, core strength and power. In addition to team building activities/games you will learn from the UBC Varsity coaches and players what it takes to be an elite hockey player!     

Whatever level you play: Atom, Pee Wee or Bantam this course will make your transition to a higher level of hockey that much easier!
