Martian Sports Skills will introduce a new format to our successful skills program for the SUMMER of 2008! We will combine the combination of our successful skills format and the success of the development of our Cross Ice game format. Each player will receive 60 minutes of skills instruction weekly and a 30 minute XICE GAME EACH WEEK. The first two weeks of skills will be solely concentrated on the development of players skating fundamentals. We will then combine our weekly skills and Cross Ice format (week 3-8) enabling the players to practice what they have learned under a 30 minute supervised game format with our professional staff.
Mike O’Neil and Paul Sacco will once again return to run our successful 8 WEEK, WEEKLY program for mite, squirt, and pee wee players. Each of these programs will meet once a week for 8 weeks for 90 plus minutes. The program is designed around the following weekly lessons:
