Swindon Wildcats Ice Hockey Academy
Ice hockey is one of the most exciting sports around. Involvement can provide benefits to its participants and enthusiasm that goes far beyond the realms of the ice rink. Health and physical fitness, social skills, team building capabilities and enhanced confidence are to name a few of the long-term benefits.
The SWIHA aims to ensure our junior development programme excels at providing these benefits to our participants. A successful junior development programme for ice hockey is made up of various elements and levels. Ideally these elements should include;
- A high calibre of training, team building on and off ice and sports ethics
- Qualified coaching - motivation and encouragement
- Development of skills and game tactics - enjoyment
- Physical conditioning
Many clubs are successful at offering coaching of technical skills and physical conditioning within their programmes.
Children will rarely excel to their true potential in an environment they do not enjoy. Progress is greatest when skills are coached to a high level together with motivation and encouragement.
SWIHA aim to achieve this within the Regional and National development programme including Video lecture, game video analysis and off ice sessions. It is through continual monitoring, evaluating and encouraging that we track individual progress for each player this information is checked and discussed at monthly coaches meeting and the outcome recorded on a training / playing document which is available for all coaches and manager to review or question with the Head Coach. This enhances our ability to track the progress of our players.
All team officials wish you all the very best at achieving both your team goals as well as your individual targets. Have a successful year but remember to have fun as you do.
