Contact + Concussion Prevention Training for your Association
CONTACT is a SKILL, CONCUSSIONS are REAL
Safety is a top Priority
What is your association doing to teach your players about contact, checking, injuries or concussions? You could be liable for not training your players properly.
Contact is a Skill

Can the Association do this as a fundraiser?
You bet! We offer a set price for our camp/services. Because you are taking the registrations, you determine the price you want to charge the players.
Can goalies attend?
Yes, goalies are encouraged to attend because there are 4 nets/drills going at once. They will not receive formal goalie training, however, they will receive an abundance of shots. We even allow the goalies to jump into some of the drills with the dummies because it is so fun.
