Skate Ontario coaches work diligently to provide the best possible opportunities to support the growth and development of their skaters. In addition to directing on and off-ice sessions, coaches plan a variety of activities for their skaters to increase engagement and enhance training.
Some of these activities include
- skill development sessions
- prep/information sessions
- feedback sessions
- challenge days
- performance opportunities
- motivational sessions
- fun events
- simulations
In order to support coaches, Skate Ontario has started to create a package of resources to assist in the planning of special activities. For ideas and examples, please refer to our Performance and Development Opportunities – Yearly Planning Tool.
