The C53 Coaching Academy program’s vision is to create a safe and fun environment where the player can develop to their full potential and enjoy the sport.
This program is an extracurricular opportunity for all hockey players to develop their hockey abilities and to learn new skills in the process. A unique feature of this program is the focus on individualized program design, where the needs of each player is assessed at the start of the program and addressed with the appropriate training throughout the duration of the program.
Each training session includes:

Sport-Specific Warm-Up Routines
Sessions begin with dynamic warm-ups designed for hockey. These improve agility, coordination, and prepare players mentally and physically for training.
