Hockey Dryland Training

Dryland training is a vital component to the development of the competitive athlete. As many players, coaches and managers will find it is very hard to fully prepare an athlete with all the necessary development that they require in a one hour on ice session. Dryland conditioning can be done all year long and with athletes of all ages. It is essential in making your athlete quicker, stronger, faster and more agile. Through the use of plyometric training, endurance training and core strength training your athlete will notice a difference in their physical strength, mental focus and ultimately in their game. We can improve balance and flexibility which will help reduce injury and increase performance.

Date - Aug 30 - Sept 3, 2010

Fee: $85.00

Equipment: Please bring helmet, stick, gloves, runners and water

CNN SPURS Minor Hockey in Partnership with Hockey Alberta, Launches the Respect in Sport Parent Program

 For Immediate Release

 Gibbons / Bon Accord Alta. – CNN Spurs Minor Hockey in partnership with Hockey Alberta, has launched the Respect in Sport Online Parent Program.

 The Respect in Sport Parent Program is an effective and informative online training program for parents of active children. This 1 hour online certification program reinforces a parents role in a child or youth's activities, encouraging positive sport behaviours, and providing insight into the various roles other individuals (such as coaches and officials) play. This program empowers parents to ensure the safety of their children, encourage positive and effective communication, and to enhance a child's fun and camaraderie of the activity.

 “The program is an effective tool for parents to improve their own experience and the experience of their children in the game.  It also is an efficient method for us to continue to communicate the importance of providing a safe and fun sporting environment to all our members. We look forward to offering this innovative service to hockey parents in Alberta.” said Hockey Alberta General Manager, Rob Litwinski.

 “To this point, there hasn’t been a program designed specifically for parents, especially one that is easily delivered over the internet and can drive accountability on behalf of the sport organization,” said Respect Group Inc. Co-Founder, Wayne McNeil. “The responsibility for becoming educated now lies with each parent, not the coach, organization or a poster or brochure.”

The number one reason cited for coaches, managers and officials of all ages leaving a sport is unacceptable parent behaviour. The Respect in Sport Parent Program helps assert proper parent behaviours to create a more rewarding, safe and respectful environment for all parties involved.

 “As sport administrators, when it comes to dealing with conflict, we spend 90% of our time on 10% of the people,” said Hockey Alberta President, Annie Orton. “We feel the implementation of the Respect in Sport Parent Program is a proactive approach to educate parents on how to react to different situations and teach them how to make the hockey rink a more enjoyable place.”

 The program cost is $12.00 per family and is available through the Hockey Alberta website.
