Skills Development “Positions” Camp – Offense & Defense: June 25-29, 2007
This camp is designed to both re-enforce the basic skating, passing & shooting skills practiced during the first Skills week, and also place extra emphasis on position specific skills. Participants will all go through the Power Skating portion of the session together, but will then be split up for the second session to go through position specific drills (Forwards, Defensemen) with Coach Sommer and the Sharks coaching staff. Participants will then practice these skills in a scrimmage session later that day. This camp is a great compliment to the first week of Skills Development!
