Squirt, Pee Wee and Bantam

Improve overall hockey skills with a program of on-ice and dryland training.  Mound-Westonka's High School Varsity Coach Doug Runke has worked with the STP program the past four summers. He and Assistant Coach DickEmahaiser, who brings 29 years of USA Hockey experience to the program, have revised the program at each level to maximize individual skills development and team play concepts.

Both the Squirt and PeeWee sessions will run for a period of 3 consecutive weeks rather than the entire summer. The Squirt group will train in June and the PeeWees in July. This consistency will allow players to build off of prior learning better than spreading it out over the summer. The goal is to have Westonka players skating and learning together in order to increase ability at each skating level. The advantage is in keeping our players working together in the summer to improve our play throughout the year.

Monday and Tuesday practices will focus on the development of individual hockey skills such as skating, shooting, passing, and puck control.

Wednesday practices will include both skills and team play concepts such as line rushes and positional play.

The focus on Thursday practices will be competitions, including small area games and battle drills.

The goal of summer Bantam training is to improve players' skills by one year by consistently training the skills and concepts that are needed to compete at the higher levels of hockey. The bantam and high school groups will be run in a way that promotes both individual skill development and the team concepts that will improve our teams throughout the next hockey season.
