Rob Little's Adult Hockey Camps

2009 is the 17th summer of providing expert instruction to adult hockey players. Our staff has worked with over 2500 adult hockey players and is known for teaching skills to players of all abilities. We often hear that participants receive more attention and individual instruction at Rob Little Adult Hockey Camps than any camp they have attended.

Rob Little Adult Camps will provide a fun and challenging environment for you to develop your skills.

Rob, THANK YOU for letting me take your clinics. You are a great instructor and are very motivating and encouraging. I really looked forward to coming to each time and did not want to miss one. I really value the knowledge and skills you have assisted me with gaining. I have attended a couple other women's clinics and feel your clinics far exeeded them ie.) the amount of people, time spent on a skill and the way it was taught, etc. I continue to tell people about how great your clinics are so I hope some of them will take advantage of your clinics and reap the rewards that I feel I have. My future clinics will be with you! Thanks again.
- Kim

New! Morning camp

Rob Little Hockey is excited to announce our new small-group, skill development sessions designed for adult hockey players. Sessions will be offered selected weekday mornings from 6:15-7:00 AM at the Breck Anderson Arena. This program is for players who want to supplement in-season play with individual skill assessment and development. Players may select dates that fit their schedule.

Rob Little Hockey will offer Skating Skills, Speed and Agility Skating and Shooting/Stickhandling Skills sessions.

The Skating Skills sessions will be limited to 10 skaters per session. The focus will be assessing and developing skating skills and techniques for each player. Areas of instruction/practice could include:

• Skating posture and balance
• Skating power and efficiency
• Edge control
• Agility
• Forward skating
• Backward skating
• Crossovers
• Transitions
• Hockey turns
• Stopping

The Speed and Agility Skating is an over-speed training session. This is not an instructional session but is designed for players to develop a faster pace to their skating. All drills are done at an "uncomfortably fast" pace. Players may choose whether they want to carry a puck, or not , when training. This session will be a great workout in addition to developing your speed and agility.

The Shooting/Stickhandling Skills sessions will be limited to a maximum of 8 skaters per session. Assessment and skill development of each participant's shooting and puck-control skills will be the focus. Approximately half of each session will be devoted to shooting and half to stickhandling. Areas of instruction for the Shooting /Stickhandling sessions could include:

• Wrist shot
• Slap shot
• Snap shot
• Backhand shot
• One-timers
• Accuracy and power
• Breakaway goalie dekes
• Forward and backward puckhandling
• Single fakes with edge work
• Double fakes with edge work
• Toe drags
• Attacking the triangle
• Puck protection
• Breakaway goalie dekes

The cost of each session is 30.00 and should be paid in cash at the session. No cancellations and no-shows will still be charged. There are multiple showers available at Breck Anderson Arena for your use.

Quickness and Agility Camp
This camp is an intense skating program using modern interval training principles. All skating drills are done at an "uncomfortably fast " or " almost out of control " speed. Players will improve their skating speed and confidence as they are pushed to perform at a pace faster than the "comfort zone " most players practice and play in.

The Quickness and Agility Skating Camp is not instructional. We are helping each player maximize whatever skating skill they have. Participants should be able to do forward and backward crossovers to benefit from this program.

Camp dates: August 18, 20, 25, 27, September 1, 3, 8, 10
Time: 7 to 8:15 p.m.
Location: Breck Anderson Ice Arena
Cost: $165
Deposit: $25 mailed to Rob Little Hockey is required to reserve a clinic spot, non-refundable.
