Beginning Coaches Series
This class is based on training of the coaches that will work with young
players. Skills will be covered to help each coach teach skating
better. We look at equipment and how it can effect players, different
technical skills and how to see the player skate and improve their ability
from where they are at now.
Currently TPS is working on a manual for the beginning coach that will
be incorporated into this clinic. The clinic consists of off ice
discussions and on-ice pratical
information.
