Lewis Center (Columbus) August 9 - 11, 2024 Core Techniques

Core Techniques Clinic

This is our primary clinic that we’ve been running for over 50 years. Players will focus on proper technique and a strong foundation including knee bend, a full-length stride, and a full return. We start with a focus on skating slowly and correctly, then slowly, correctly, and powerfully. This can take many years to learn and master. All hockey players, regardless of skill level, need a solid foundation on skating technique, balance, and explosiveness, all of which are covered in the Core clinics.

This clinic is 6 hours on ice and covers the skills up to the Intermediate AA level skills test.
*Note: This is not a learn-to-skate program.

Recommended for all skaters 7-10; skaters ages 11+ who want to improve their core skating skills or are new to Laura Stamm Power Skating; skaters up to age 13 playing house-level hockey; and adult novice league skaters.

*Note: Players cannot become great skaters in just a few days, they need to practice and master each technique throughout the year. Our clinics are designed to provide knowledge and drills to use outside of the clinics.

Laura Stamm Power Skating reserves the right to adjust or cancel groups as necessary.

Please check our website for possible changes before attending the clinic.

Some rinks require up to 15 minutes per session for ice resurfacing.
